Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia remains open to cooperation with the West, provided they abandon their hostile stance. Speaking at the Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security, he emphasized that Russia does not seek war with Europe but is prepared for conflict if initiated by Europe. The clarity of direct dialogue with Europe is uncertain, as Lavrov noted a shift away from global multipolarity by the West. The conference gathered over 600 representatives from around 50 countries, focusing on security and sustainable development in Eurasia. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko warned that protests across Europe should prompt EU countries to seek cooperation and expressed hope for a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine crisis.
