Russia rejects a ceasefire in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on May 21.<\/p>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir<\/strong> Putin<\/strong><\/strong><\/a> held a phone call on May 19 as Ukraine and its allies intensify efforts to end Russia’s war. Putin rejected a ceasefire and instead insisted on negotiating a “memorandum regarding a potential future peace treaty.”<\/p>\n

Lavrov rejected the push to “have a truce and then we’ll see,” claiming that the “root causes” of Russia’s war need to be resolved.<\/p>\n

Lavrov accused European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron<\/a><\/strong>, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, of pushing Trump to tighten sanctions against Russia.<\/p>\n

“We have already been in these stories, we don\u2019t want this anymore,” Lavrov<\/a><\/strong> said, referring to negotiations between Moscow and Ukraine<\/a><\/strong> following the onset of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine in February 2022.<\/p>\n

Russia initiated peace talks with Ukraine, which took place on May 16, following Moscow’s rejection of calls from Ukraine and its allies for an immediate ceasefire<\/strong><\/a>. The Kremlin claimed the negotiations would be a resumption of the 2022 peace negotiations.<\/p>\n

In the 2022 peace talks and on May 16, Russian authorities issued maximalist demands to Ukraine. On May 14, Russia announced its delegation would consist of low-level officials, led by Putin’s aide, Vladimir Medinsky.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Putin did not attend the Istanbul peace talks on May 16, despite an invitation from President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a><\/strong> to meet him face-to-face.<\/p>\n

Lavrov was also absent from the peace talks<\/a><\/strong>, signalling Russia’s unwillingness to make progress at the Istanbul negotiations.<\/p>\n

The talks were largely inconclusive. Russia reiterated<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/a> maximalist demands, including that Ukraine accept the loss of Crimea and four eastern regions.<\/p>\n
