> Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Zelensky had shown he was not interested in elections by setting conditions he called obviously unacceptable. Asked whether Moscow would make concessions if Ukraine held a presidential vote, Lavrov said he would not speculate and warned there would be no ceasefire to bring Zelensky to his senses and supply him with weapons.
