⚡️⚠️🗣🇺🇸🇷🇺 Zelensky issued a "rude and direct challenge" to Trump by announcing continued strikes on Russian oil refineries — Lavrov

📍Other statements by the Russian Foreign Minister:

❗️Russia was offered a "diesel deal," and Moscow supported it.

❗️Zelensky framed the elections in Ukraine with deliberately unacceptable conditions: "There will be no ceasefire to bring him back to his senses and pump him full of weapons."

❗️Moscow has not officially received the latest four-point "peace plan" reported by The Washington Post. The leaked documents contain no ideas that would bring about long-term peace in Ukraine.

❗️Russia is ready for "normal, reasonable, and honest negotiations" on Ukraine, but if they don't happen, everything will be decided by military action.

❗️Russia, unlike the West, has never changed its position on Ukraine, while in the West, after Anchorage, there has been a "constant retreat" to positions that only push back against a negotiated solution.
