The Kremlin's rhetoric about Ukraine once again reveals its true intentions. Moscow has rejected the possibility of a ceasefire during peace talks.
In particular, this was publicly stated by Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during his speech at the BRICS summit in New Delhi.
What did Lavrov say about the likelihood of a ceasefire?
According to him, Moscow allegedly remains open to dialogue, but does not intend to halt hostilities for that period.
We, as before, are ready for negotiations, but during the negotiation period we will not halt the special military operation,
— the Russian official said cynically.
Separately, Lavrov commented on the initiative for possible high-level contacts between Ukraine and Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's invitation to the Russian capital, he called a "great gesture of goodwill" on Russia's part.
In this way he responded to the words of the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, who stated that if Zelenskiy wants to meet with Putin, he should come to Moscow.
As a reminder, earlier the Ukrainian leader proposed that Volodymyr Putin hold a personal meeting in December 2026 during the G20 summit in Miami.
Meanwhile in Moscow they noted that the possibility of Putin traveling to the G20 summit in Miami has not even been discussed yet.
