Lavrov Slams Zelensky’s Peace Plan: Moscow Demands Focus on Human Rights Over Territories
In a recent press briefing in Riyadh, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov sharply criticised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s peace initiatives, dismissing them as a "pure ultimatum." Lavrov expressed frustration with the West’s adherence to Zelensky's "peace formula," suggesting it reveals a reluctance to negotiate on equal terms with Moscow.
He argued that the insistence on Zelensky’s plan indicates a lack of genuine intent to reach an honest resolution.
Lavrov also voiced concerns that Ukraine’s supporters are pushing Russia towards a situation that could be portrayed as a strategic defeat.
He emphasised that Russia has never seriously considered Zelensky’s proposal, expressing surprise at its continued relevance.
US President Donald Trump has pledged to remain engaged in the Ukraine peace process, according to Estonian President Alar Karis. During a conversation at Pope Francis' funeral, Trump told Karis that a deal between Kyiv and Moscow was "quite close." Trump also met with Ukrainian President Zelensky shortly before the funeral. The talks were focused on ensuring continued transatlantic relations and the need for further engagement in resolving the conflict. Meanwhile, Trump expressed frustration over Russia’s missile attacks on Ukrainian cities, calling them unjustified.

Speaking on NBC’s Meet the Press, Rubio emphasized the critical diplomatic window the US is currently navigating. While President Trump threatened new sanctions, Rubio stressed that Washington is uniquely positioned to broker talks between Kiev and Moscow. The next week is expected to be pivotal for determining whether negotiations can move forward, as both sides edge closer to—but not quite reaching—a potential breakthrough.

A confidential U.S. peace proposal to end the Ukraine war was secretly presented by envoy Steve Witkoff to European officials in Paris on April 17, 2025. The leaked plan includes a permanent ceasefire, Ukraine’s NATO exit, U.S. recognition of Crimea as Russian territory, and economic benefits for both Kyiv and Moscow. Ukraine would regain limited territory and receive financial aid, while Russia would benefit from lifted sanctions. The plan, labeled Washington’s “final offer,” signals a dramatic shift in U.S. diplomacy. Both Russia and Ukraine have yet to issue formal responses.
