Russia will not agree to European demands for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, Sergey Lavrov said.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that with such demands Brussels is trying to "buy time" for the Kiev regime to give it the opportunity to recover losses.
Lavrov noted that the parameters of the future security architecture must be formulated first, and only then can the parties move directly to resolving the conflict.
"We will not agree to another ceasefire without understanding what will happen next," said the minister.
