Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that discussing a ceasefire in Ukraine before addressing conflict resolution is unproductive. He criticized Ursula von der Leyen's stance on prioritizing a ceasefire, asserting that it leads nowhere. Lavrov emphasized that European countries seem eager to join negotiations but lack a clear understanding of their potential role. The Kremlin previously indicated that Europe must choose between supporting peace or war before engaging in talks about Ukraine. President Putin expressed a desire for Americans to communicate with Europe to clarify their stance on the conflict.
