Russia’s foreign minister called a peace agreement «impossible,» which contrasts with recent messages from the Kremlin.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday said reaching a peace agreement with Ukraine «will certainly be impossible,» seemingly contradicting recent messages from the Kremlin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin himself indicated a peace deal was still possible when he was interviewed by Tucker Carlson in a talk that aired on February 8. Days later, Carlson went further by telling a summit in Dubai that he believes Putin would be willing to compromise in order to end the war.
However, Lavrov offered a different stance on negotiations with Ukraine while speaking with Russian lawmakers on Wednesday.
«Considering that those who declared a war on us offer no serious proposals and are unwilling to respect our interests and the reality on the ground, getting an agreement at the negotiating table will certainly be impossible.
