Iran Press/ Europe: Negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv to end Russia’s nearly two-month military campaign in pro-western Ukraine has stalled, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday.
The heads of the Ukrainian and Russian negotiating delegations completed another round of talks over the past few days. At the same time, Sergey Lavrov, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, claimed that the talks have allegedly reached a stalemate.
Sergei Lavrov said: "We were holding talks. They are currently halted because the Ukrainian negotiators have not yet responded to the offer that we submitted to them and that was drawn up in response to the comments they made available at the time."
“I am very surprised every day to hear statements from various Ukrainian representatives, including the president and his advisers, who make us think that they do not need these talks at all, that they have come to terms with their fate,” Lavrov added. 219
