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.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has made provocative statements regarding the ongoing Ukraine conflict, urging for a shift in diplomatic approaches. Lavrov emphasized that peace efforts should not be seen as a "zero-sum game," but rather as a process of listening to both sides and seeking common ground. In a direct response to European Union and NATO leaders, he criticized their vehement opposition to US-Russia talks, calling their reaction “unhealthy” and detrimental to peace efforts. Lavrov also condemned NATO Chief Jens Stoltenberg for instructing Ukrainian President Zelensky not to make any concessions to Russia, accusing him of "abusing his position." Lavrov’s remarks highlight the growing divide between Russia and Western powers, as both sides remain entrenched in their positions.

Trump backs elections in Ukraine. Trump has backed the need for elections in Ukraine, arguing that President Zelensky is highly unpopular. He cited a “4% approval rating” for Zelensky and insisted that Ukrainians must decide their leadership. The statement came as U.S. and Russian negotiators met in Riyadh for the first time since 2022 to discuss ways to end the Ukraine conflict. Meanwhile, the Kremlin has questioned Zelensky’s legitimacy after his term expired in May 2024.
