"The special operation will continue after the negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul. However, Russia is ready to simultaneously promote the resolution of humanitarian issues through diplomacy," Lavrov said.
At the same time, the Russian minister added that, allegedly, there is a "growing terrorist threat" from the Ukrainian side, according to Russian Interfax.
