Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is set to visit Malta for an OSCE meeting, marking his first potential trip to an EU country since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Maria Zakharova emphasized that the host country must facilitate opportunities for all OSCE member states to engage, highlighting the importance of diplomatic dialogue amid tensions.
Lavrov's last EU visit was in December 2021, prior to the invasion of Ukraine, and this upcoming meeting is significant as tensions remain high.
Despite EU sanctions, Lavrov was allowed to fly through Bulgaria's airspace en route to North Macedonia last year, stirring controversy and criticism from Ukraine.
