Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has opposed Europe's demand for a ceasefire in Ukraine. In a statement made in Moscow, Lavrov said they would not accept any such initiative.
Lavrov argued that the call for a ceasefire is intended to buy time for Ukraine. The Russian minister stated, "This is being done to buy time for Ukraine and to compensate for their losses."
The statement came within the scope of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) agenda held in Moscow. Lavrov's words once again demonstrated Moscow's stance at a time when discussions on a diplomatic solution and a ceasefire in the Ukraine war are ongoing.
