Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow will not pause its war against Ukraine during negotiations, citing past experience as justification for continuing military operations. Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, Lavrov accused Europe of seeking a pause to replenish Ukraine's depleted arsenals. He met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who reported both sides' interest in a limited ceasefire covering grain supplies and energy infrastructure. Over 50 UN member states issued a joint statement noting Ukraine agreed to a full, immediate ceasefire in March 2025, urging Russia to do the same and engage in substantive peace negotiations.
