🇷🇺🇺🇦 Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated Russia's position in the context of the intensified negotiations: the option of a "freezing" along the line of contact until specific agreements are reached is not being considered.

In simple terms, no one is planning to stop the fighting yet. This is a response to numerous insider reports about plans to reach a ceasefire allegedly as early as this spring, which were circulated on both sides of the ocean.

Whether and when any agreement with the US will be reached is an open question. Lavrov's statement indirectly indicates that the leadership does not have unfounded optimism on this matter - the experience of past agreements has made itself felt.

For now, much suggests that the intensity of clashes will increase in the coming months: as practice shows, very bloody battles often precede negotiations.
