Trass, in the closed part of the negotiations with Lavrov, refused to recognize Russia's sovereignty over Rostov and Voronezh.

During the talks, she stated that Russian troops should be withdrawn from the Ukrainian border. Lavrov retorted that the Russian military is on its territory and has the right to conduct any maneuvers. After that, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry asked Truss if she recognizes Russia's sovereignty over the Rostov and Voronezh regions?
