Russian foreign minister rejects Ukraine's push for unconditional ceasefire

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Wednesday that Russia will not agree to an unconditional ceasefire with Ukraine, regardless of the pressures from French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Speaking to students at the Russian-Armenian University in Yerevan, Armenia's capital, Lavrov pointed out that Ukraine cannot be trusted, as it has previously used ceasefire agreements to reinforce and rearm its forces, allowing for renewed attacks on Russia.
