CurrentReport Blog Russia has stated that it is not prepared to accept the latest United States peace proposals in their current form. The Kremlin’s foreign policy adviser, Sergei Ryabkov, emphasized that while Russia is taking the US proposals seriously, they cannot agree to the terms as they stand. The remarks follow a statement from President Donald Trump, who expressed anger towards Russia and President Vladimir Putin, calling for more aggressive action.
Ryabkov noted that although there is some acknowledgment of Russia’s key demands in the proposals, the primary concerns related to the root causes of the Ukraine conflict have not been addressed. He stressed that the main demand from Russia remains the resolution of issues that lead to the ongoing war, which, according to Russia, is tied to Ukraine’s independence and its future alignment with NATO.
The US has proposed a ceasefire framework, but Ryabkov pointed out that there is no clear resolution in the current discussions on the deeper political issues fueling the conflict. The comments reflect ongoing tensions and the complexities surrounding any potential peace agreement.
Russia’s stance signals continued resistance to compromise on critical geopolitical issues that involve Ukraine’s sovereignty and NATO membership.
