Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Lavrov is essentially saying: screw peace, Russia wants to keep invading Ukraine.
No one, including him, can define what “denazification” even means. And Ukrainians will never demilitarize again, not after it led to a Russian invasion the last time we did. He knows it.
