Lavrov is trying desperately to insure that it remains safe for him to stand close to 3rd story windows.
Lavrov says Russia will "no longer believe the West when it says it wants negotiated solutions. The reserve of goodwill and hope has been completely exhausted."
Of course, it's Russia that cannot be trusted and wants to continue the war.

The "deal" got the US nothing it wanted. The strait will be back open. For now. They won't work on nuclear weapons. For now. They get to keep their nuclear stockpile. We're lifting sanctions soon and they get $26 billion in assets unfrozen.

This. The court may even pair the release of the ruling in favor of birthright citizenship with the one gutting the Voting Rights Act, and the usual suspects will proclaim it’s a sign of moderation
Don't get me wrong: I'm relieved that this case is shaping up as either 8-1 or 7-2 against the Trump executive order. But the case is a gift to the Supreme Court. By rejecting an outlandish position, it will earn credibility as apolitical, even as the Overton window moves far to the right.
