Russia vows to stay in Ukraine, no ceasefire

Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has made bold statements regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He indicated that Russia will not withdraw its forces from Ukraine until it has completely eliminated what he termed "Nazis" from the country. Lavrov's comments suggest that there may be no immediate ceasefire in sight, which adds tension to ongoing peace talks between the U.S. and Russia that are taking place in Saudi Arabia. He accused European NATO countries of ignoring the alleged extremist elements within the Ukrainian government. The remarks come amid reports of intensified fighting along the border regions, with Russia claiming significant victories and the surrender of Ukraine troops. Reports of heavy casualties have also surfaced as both sides continue to engage in fierce clashes. This situation marks a continuation of the ongoing struggle, which has drawn international attention and led to various diplomatic efforts to find a resolution. The developments raise concerns about the potential for further escalation in the region.
