Lavrov: The West is trying to buy time for Kiev by calling for a cease-fire

"When they say that apart from the cease-fire, everything else is secondary, it is clear what they are talking about. The point is to once again bargain for additional time in order to support the Kiev regime in order to preserve its essence," he said.
