Russian Foreign Minister meets with Mexican officials to discuss Ukraine peace proposal

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard reportedly met to discuss a peace proposal for the Ukraine crisis.

The plan was presented to the UN General Assembly this week but Ukraine opposes it, saying it would be advantageous to Russia.

Mr Ebrard wrote on Twitter that he and Lavrov had a “cordial conversation”, and posted a picture of them together.

Yesterday, the Mexican met his Ukrainian counterpart.

The plan involves creating a “mediation committee” to settle conflicts worldwide, spearheaded by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Pope Francis.

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the committee would immediately start talks with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy to achieve “a truce of at least five years”.

Mr Lopez Obrador said earlier this week: “I don’t want to play a leading role, as a government we’re making a proposal to see if it’s accepted.”
