It’s up to the small thing: to fulfill them in the best possible way, ”he said.

Lavrov stressed that otherwise the issue would be decided by the Russian army.

He also noted that on the issue of the duration of the conflict, the "ball" is on the side of Kyiv and "Washington standing behind it."

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that Kyiv refused to negotiate, but Moscow would be open to dialogue if the Ukrainian regime "matured".
