Russia Rules Out Freezing War in Ukraine Ahead of US Envoy Visits to Kyiv, Moscow
Moscow said a ceasefire is impossible unless Ukraine’s territorial and political issues are resolved, as officials also criticized U.S. support for Kyiv.
- Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin stated Moscow will not agree to a "freeze" in the war against Ukraine unless the conflict's "root causes" are addressed.
- President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly insisted no "freeze" is possible without eliminating fundamental issues, reinforcing Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's June rejection of halting fighting along current front lines.
- Moscow labeled recent Ukrainian strikes on energy infrastructure "terrorist" attacks, urging international response while criticizing United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio for allegedly failing to act as an "impartial mediator."
- Galuzin accused President Volodymyr Zelensky of having "completely lost touch with reality" and claimed Kyiv is "trying to escalate the conflict" rather than pursue peace negotiations.
- Russian special envoy Rodion Miroshnik recently said the war may continue for a long time, though Moscow remains ready to pursue objectives while considering the "Anchorage understandings" for potential diplomatic settlement.
