Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed dissatisfaction with proposals reportedly discussed by President-elect Donald Trump and his team to end the war in Ukraine. These proposals include postponing Ukraine's NATO membership for 20 years and deploying European and British peacekeeping forces in Ukraine. Lavrov stated that Moscow is not satisfied with these suggestions, which were attributed to representatives of Trump's team. The comments come as speculation about potential future peace negotiations continues, following nearly three years of conflict that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties.
