Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov criticised a reported new peace proposal for Ukraine, saying it failed to address what Moscow considers necessary for a long-term settlement, EFE reported.
Speaking in Baku on 15 October, Lavrov referred to leaked provisions including an immediate ceasefire along the current front. He said these did not explain how lasting peace could be achieved.
Lavrov also claimed Ukraine and European governments would violate any ceasefire. That is a Russian government assertion and is not independently established by the reporting.
He said Moscow had not received the plan through official channels. The proposal reportedly emerged from recent discussions involving Ukrainian, American and European negotiators.
The comments do not amount to a verified rejection of an officially submitted plan, since the Russian minister said it had not been formally delivered.
