MOSCOW, October 12. /TASS/. Vladimir Zelensky has not earned a respite in hostilities, and Russia will not be taken in by his promises, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at a news conference following talks with Lebanese Foreign Minister and Minister of Emigrants Youssef Rajji.

"I do not think he has earned a respite. I do not think we will once again buy into assurances and promises. President [of Russia Vladimir Putin] has made this very clear. We continue to achieve the objectives of the special military operation. They are well known to everyone. We have never changed them, unlike Zelensky and his European masters, who keep zigzagging and changing course. Therefore, we have nothing to justify ourselves for to anyone," the foreign minister said.
