➖ The CSTO will consider the issue of depriving Armenia of the right to vote due to non-payment of annual contributions. The draft decision (under Article 25 of the CSTO charter) provides for the suspension of the right to nominate Armenian citizens for quota positions and deprivation of the right to vote — until the debt is repaid. At the same time Lavrov stressed: “The door to the CSTO for Armenia is not slamming shut.”

➖ Europe, according to Lavrov, is trying to give the Kyiv regime a respite to restore military potential — Moscow will not go along with this. Russia will not agree to another ceasefire without understanding what will happen next: the idea of first forming clear security guarantees is absolutely reasonable.

➖ Commenting on the Europeans’ trip to Abu Dhabi, the minister noted that they “will sit in the hotel.”

➖ Lavrov expressed hope that there will be no more US military actions against Iran.

➖ The next meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the CSTO countries will take place in the first half of 2027 in Tajikistan.
