Russia says it won't make concessions to Zelenskyy or accept 'energy truce'

Russia does not intend to make concessions to Vladimir Zelenskyy and will not yield to his statements about an 'energy truce,' Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov officially stated, according to TASS. The Ukrainian leadership is trying to use any international initiatives solely for its own interests — to gain a tactical respite on the front, Lavrov said. He emphasized that Zelenskyy has not 'earned' a pause in hostilities, and Moscow will assess the situation pragmatically based on actual conditions.
