The Russian Foreign Ministry considers the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine for negotiations as a dead end.
The position of the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, according to which a ceasefire is necessary for negotiations on Ukraine is a dead end, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. "Declaring, as Ursula von der Leyen does, that an armistice comes first and only then any talk about European security, or like Kaya Callas, that we will not support an arrangement that takes into account Russia's interests, are dead-end thoughts, and I hope everyone understands this," Lavrov said in an interview with Lusti.
