Lavrov saw Zelensky's response to Trump's words about an energy cut as a desire for a truce

Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky's response to US President Donald Trump's statement about the so-called ceasefire reflects his desire for a ceasefire at any cost, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. "As for the status of this agreement, we can refer to Zelensky's response, when when asked a question he said that he had not heard of such an agreement and would be happy to receive some clarifications and that he was ready for a ceasefire," Lavrov said. "Here is the astonishment expressed by President Trump's statement, it reflects only one thing - that he really wants to use every word, every initiative, every idea that falls into the public sphere to advance his cause at the front by hook or by crook," said the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
