Russia says it 'cannot accept' US proposal for Ukraine peace deal
By NATASHA ANDERSON
Russia says it is giving serious consideration to US proposals on ending the war in Ukraine, but 'cannot accept' the current peace deal.
Moscow wants the US to take into account what it regards as the root causes of the conflict, a Russian diplomat was quoted by state media as saying on Tuesday.
'We take the models and solutions proposed by the Americans very seriously, but we can't accept it all in its current form,' Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov was quoted as saying.
'As far as we can see, there is no place in them today for our main demand, namely to solve the problems related to the root causes of this conflict,' he was cited as telling the magazine 'International Affairs' in an interview.
'It is completely absent, and that must be overcome,' he was quoted as saying.
