Russia is ready to negotiate a "just and lasting peace" with Ukraine but will not suspend its military operation during talks, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Tuesday at a UN Security Council meeting. Lavrov stated that Russia learned from "harsh experience" and will not halt hostilities regardless of the negotiation format. He accused Europe of seeking an immediate ceasefire to allow Kyiv to rearm its depleted military arsenals. The minister also claimed Ukraine has long resorted to "openly terrorist methods" out of desperation, according to Russia's RIA Novosti news agency.
