So per private human translation, here's approx what Lavrov is saying (note this is just the narrative, not truth per se):
  1. Russia doesn't even know what the US media is talking about. They haven't officially received anything and had to find out from the media. US needs to use diplomatic channels and communicate what they're working on.
  2. EU failed to secure peace in Eastern Ukraine per the Minsk agreement and there's not going to be a new version of the same thing. Remember that Putin said the same in his interview with Carlson (#418324).

Yes, Trump thinks that running mouth on Social Media is the channel of communication to agree everyone. EU allies wouldn't be happy at all for ignoring them, if it is. But Russia wants US to ignore any demands from EU and deal is done.

It's a strategy. They put pressure on Zelensky because now he looks bad when he says no. EU also looks bad when they say no. Except they probably made up the entire "agrees to full terms" thing. It's all PR posturing so that the guy gets a Nobel peace price.

Yes it is but it's again not liked and don't work everywhere. It didn't work well in India's case when he tried to impose himself as mediator for India vs Pakistan clashes. The public, government and media all treated him like a joker here.

There's not much goodwill and trust towards the US in Europe either, which seems to have worked in the favor of EU politicians because public trust in the EC hasn't been as high as its now since before 2008. On the ground this feels as the result of fear more than the result of a job well done.
