Lavrov: Russia wants the conflict in Ukraine to end

Russia wants the conflict in Ukraine to end. But he added that Moscow will respond to the West that is sending weapons to Kiev, the country's foreign minister said.

According to Sergei Lavrov, Moscow's forces would react to the deployment of longer-range Western weapons by trying to push Ukrainian forces further from its borders.

He said this would create a safe buffer zone.

In an interview on state television, Lavrov added that everyone would like the conflict in Ukraine to end, but Western support for Kiev was playing an important role in how Russia approaches the campaign.
