Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has dismissed a reported peace deal involving Ukraine and NATO, attributing the proposals to President-elect Trump's advisors. In an interview with a state-run Russian news agency, Lavrov expressed dissatisfaction with the purported U.S. plans to suspend hostilities along the line of contact and shift confrontation responsibilities to Europeans.
Lavrov criticized the proposal to delay Ukraine's NATO membership for 20 years and deploy British and European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine, which he claimed were leaked by Trump's team. However, no official American announcement has been made regarding this deal.
