Russia claims that it was ready to strike an early peace deal with Ukraine but the West ruined it

Russia's foreign minister said Russia was open to negotiating with Ukraine in the early months of the war.At the time, Western leaders urged Ukraine to approach negotiations cautiously.Russia was open to negotiating with Ukraine shortly after it launched its offensive last year, but the United States and other Western allies advised Kyiv against holding talks, Russia's foreign minister claimed on Monday.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov blamed the West for the stalled talks during a visit to Pretoria, South Africa, as part of a Russian push to strengthen ties with the African nation,"It is well known that we supported the proposal of the Ukrainian side to negotiate early in the special military operation and by the end of March, the two delegations agreed on the principle to settle this conflict," said Lavrov, per The Post.

"It is [also] well known and was published openly that our American, British, and some European colleagues told Ukraine that it is too early to deal, and the arrangement which was almost agreed was never revisited by the Kyiv regime," he added. In the weeks after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine, a number of fruitless peace talks took place as Russia continued to bomb Ukrainian cities.
