Sergei Ryabkov, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, has vowed that the Kremlin “cannot accept” American peace to end war with Ukraine proposals as things stand, Newsweek reports.
He said the United States is not taking into consideration Russia’s “main demand” to secure peace in its war on Ukraine.
Newspot reports that US President Donald Trump is attempting to broker peace between Russia and Ukraine to end the ongoing war.
The US President has so far secured partial ceasefires in the Black Sea and against energy infrastructure.
In an interview with Russia’s International Affairs magazine on Tuesday, Ryabkov said “We have not heard from Trump a signal to Kyiv to end the war.
“All that we have today is an attempt to find a certain scheme that would first allow us to achieve a ceasefire, as it is conceived by the Americans.
“And then move on to some other models and schemes, in which, as far as we can judge, today there is no place for our main demand, namely, the solution of problems related to the root causes of this conflict.”
