Lavrov defended Moscow’s position on negotiations, saying Russia is ready to discuss a long-term peace agreement but will not pause its military operation simply to facilitate talks. He also accused European countries of seeking a temporary pause to rearm Ukraine and questioned the role of NATO in the conflict. Lavrov’s remarks come as diplomatic efforts intensify at the UNSC amid renewed debate over Ukraine, Russia and European security.
