Ukraine peace must take into account 'new territorial realities'
Russia remains open to a political resolution of the Ukraine conflict but only under terms that recognize “new territorial realities” and guarantee the country's long-term security, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Lavrov, in an interview with Hungary's Magyar Nemzet newspaper published Monday, rejected any proposal for a mere ceasefire, saying such a pause would enable Kyiv and its Western backers to regroup militarily.
