Russia says will only stop Ukraine war when peace settlement 'suits' Moscow

Russia is ready for negotiations on the Ukraine war but will only stop fighting when a peace settlement "suits" Moscow, its foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday, the third anniversary of Russia's invasion.

"We will stop hostilities only when these negotiations produce a firm and sustainable result that suits the Russian Federation," Lavrov said in a press conference with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan.
