As part of the Russian chairmanship at the meeting of BRICS Sherpas and Sherpas, he noted that the United States and its partners are imposing this formula as the only settlement option.

“The fact that this option represents nothing more than an ultimatum to Russia, that it is simply impossible to implement and does not honor those who are trying to present themselves as foreign policy figures and effective managers, is obvious to everyone,” the minister added.

Earlier, the head of the second department of the CIS countries of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Alexei Polishchuk, said that the “Zelensky peace formula” impedes reasonable proposals from China, Brazil and African countries regarding Ukraine.
