Russia’s Lavrov Says West Trying to ‘Block' Ukraine Peace Talks

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Western countries of obstructing Ukraine peace talks amid disputes over security guarantees and conditions set by both sides.

  • On Sunday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov accused Western countries of trying to block peace negotiations, saying `They're just looking for a pretext to block negotiations`.
  • Amid talks, disagreements over guarantees include Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukrainian President's condition for security guarantees and Moscow rejecting European troops in Ukraine as `absolutely unacceptable`.
  • Sergey Lavrov criticised Volodymyr Zelenskyy for `demanding an immediate meeting at all costs` and said no meeting with Vladimir Putin was planned on Friday, while US President Donald Trump has championed a bilateral summit.
  • Both sides have publicly blamed each other, noting that Russia maintains Western security guarantees risk escalation and complicate peace prospects, undermining efforts to convene a summit.
  • Despite diplomacy, the war continues with missile and drone attacks across Russia and Ukraine, sparking a blaze at the Ust-Luga fuel terminal and halving capacity at reactor No 3.
