Summary

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that Russia rejects a weak ceasefire in Ukraine, instead seeking a legally binding peace deal ensuring the security of Russia and its neighbors.

Lavrov accused the West of using truces to re-arm Ukraine and called for agreements preventing future violations.

President Putin expressed readiness for talks with Trump but ruled out territorial concessions or Ukraine’s NATO membership, a key Russian concern.

Ukraine remains committed to pursuing NATO membership despite Russia’s objections.

    I’ve carefully considered Russia’s concerns and security, and after 3 years I’ve ultimately decided that I don’t give a fuck about Genocidal Fascist Warmonger’s Fee-fees.

    Ukraine’s sovereingty doesn’t end where Russian hurt feelings begin.

      I don’t think “genocidal” should be used here. Israel is doing it to Palestinians but I don’t think Russia invading Ukraine is the same. War crimes for sure…

        hard disagree. If you consider the behaivor of both the Russian state and its military, not what its talking heads say. Russia’s intention is to erase the idea of Ukraine as a nation. Forced education, Children kidnapped, objectors thrown into brutal “filtration camps”. resistance is met with murder.

        The only reason people are arguing that it isnt a genocide, is because Russia has successfully waged one of the largest white-washing information operations in human history on the internet. convicing millions of people that they, the aggressor, are also the victim.
