Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stated that Russia cannot accept the current proposals from the United States regarding a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

According to Ryabkov, the US proposals fail to address the core issues that have led to the escalation of the conflict, which Russia believes need to be resolved for any meaningful peace to be achieved.

This statement comes amidst heightened tensions and ongoing military engagements as the war in Ukraine enters its third week of hostilities.

The remarks indicate a continued impasse in negotiations and highlight the complex geopolitical dynamics at play.

The international community remains closely monitoring the situation, as diplomatic efforts to broker a peace deal continue to face significant challenges.
