NEGOTIATIONS DEAD?: Lavrov Declares Peace Impossible After London E3 Signs Long-Range Weapons Deal For Ukraine

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov declared on Monday that he struggles to see how any negotiations on Ukraine can proceed after the leaders of Britain, France and Germany signed a strategic support document with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in London, which includes commitments to supply Ukraine with additional long-range weapons authorised to strike deep into Russian territory and to prepare for the deployment of what Lavrov described as occupying stabilisation forces on remaining Ukrainian land. Lavrov cited US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's congressional admission that Washington cannot serve as a mediator because it supports Ukraine, and similar statements by European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas, as proof that no neutral Western intermediary exists. The Russian foreign minister also said that President Putin had accepted a specific peace proposal from President Trump at their Anchorage meeting on August 15 of last year, but that American partners have since shown no interest in advancing that framework. Lavrov additionally invoked the 2022 Istanbul talks, the Minsk agreements, and the 2014 Yanukovych accord as a documented pattern of Western commitments made and subsequently abandoned, referencing former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former French President Francois Hollande's admissions that the Minsk process was used to buy time to arm Ukraine. Lavrov concluded that everything now depends not on negotiations but on the actions of Russian forces at the front.
