Russia rules out making concessions in peace deal with Ukraine

Radio Svoboda stated this in an article, citing Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, according to Ukrinform.

"There can be no talk of any concessions or surrendering our approach regarding the key issues we're facing, including in the context of the Special Military Operation," Ryabkov said.

In an interview with Sky News, when asked whether Moscow had agreed to any concessions after the US peace plan was updated in consultations with Ukraine, Ryabkov replied that there can be no talk of any concessions or capitulation.

He said Russia welcomes the efforts of "the Trump administration's efforts to find reasonable solutions and reasonable outcomes."

"I emphasise that the various elements of the Anchorage agreement represent, in and of themselves, compromise solutions," Ryabkov said, referring to the meeting between Russian leader Vladimir Putin and Trump in Alaska earlier this year.

At the same time, he added that discussions of the peace plan will continue.

According to Ryabkov, Russia is also negotiating with China regarding efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

As Ukrinform reported, on Tuesday US President Donald Trump said that the United States, Ukraine, and Russia had come closer to reaching an acceptable agreement to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

Trump also stated that Russia had agreed to some concessions.
