Sergei Lavrov rejects immediate Ukraine ceasefire proposals
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has rejected European calls for an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, stating that Moscow will not agree to any truce without a clear understanding of the subsequent security framework. Speaking in Abu Dhabi during trilateral negotiations between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine, Lavrov accused European leaders of attempting to buy time for the Kyiv regime to replenish its military losses.
The trilateral talks, held on November 10 and 11, involve the Russian delegation led by Vladimir Medinski, the Ukrainian delegation led by Rustem Umerov, and US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. While European representatives from nations including France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom are present in Abu Dhabi, Lavrov indicated they would not be permitted to participate in the formal trilateral discussions, suggesting they remain in their hotels instead.
Lavrov described the US proposal to establish security parameters before resolving the conflict as “absolutely reasonable.” However, he maintained that Russia requires agreement on post-conflict security guarantees before any lasting settlement can be reached. The negotiations are reportedly focusing first on security issues and European defense architecture before addressing territorial concerns.
