Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has stated that Russia will not cease hostilities along the current front line, citing the Russian constitution. The constitution was amended in 2022 to include several partially occupied Ukrainian regions.
Lavrov also expressed concerns about the deployment of foreign peacekeepers in Ukraine, stating that it would complicate the situation and escalate the conflict. He emphasized the need to address the root causes of the conflict rather than relying on temporary solutions like troop deployment.
