Russia has said it would only accept a legally binding ceasefire deal for a lasting peace that would ensure the security of both Russia and its neighbours.
Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said that a weak ceasefire to freeze the war in Ukraine would be futile and counterproductive.
Lavrov suspects that a weak truce would be used by the US and its allies to re-arm Ukraine.
“A truce is a path to nowhere,” he said, adding that “We need final legal agreements that will fix all the conditions for ensuring the security of the Russian Federation and, of course, the legitimate security interests of our neighbours.”
The minister went on to say that Moscow wanted the legal documents drafted in such a way to ensure “the impossibility of violating these agreements”.
