Russia’s foreign minister softened his tone toward Ukraine, saying his country “can do business” with any elected president and warning that fighting in the country’s east risks undermining a ballot’s legitimacy.
“If there is somebody who emerges as a figure with the support of the majority of Ukrainians, of course it’s easier to have such an interlocutor than self-appointed people,” Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s top diplomat, said today in an interview with Bloomberg Television.
