UK Foreign Secretary doubts Russia's commitment to peace in Ukraine at G20 meeting

The UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, expressed skepticism about Russia's commitment to peace in Ukraine during a G20 meeting in South Africa. He stated that discussions have not progressed toward a negotiated settlement and criticized Russian claims as outdated. Lammy emphasized that any lasting peace must respect Ukraine's sovereignty and the UN Charter. He noted that Russia has rejected proposals for returning territory or allowing foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine. Tensions between Ukraine and the US have increased, particularly following comments from US President Donald Trump about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. A planned press conference between Zelensky and Trump's envoy was canceled, highlighting the strained relations.
