Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov on April 7 said Moscow rejected Ukraine’s latest draft peace proposal and claimed Western powers are trying to undermine negotiations between the two sides.

After the “Ukrainian side presented its draft agreements to our negotiators,” Russian officials claimed it was a “clear departure from key provisions that were committed to at the meeting in Istanbul” last week, Lavrov said, according to state-run media Sputnik News.
