Russia is not interested in freezing the war it started in Ukraine along the current frontlines and has taken aim at continued western military support for Kyiv.

Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov made the comments Wednesday while in the Qatari capital, Doha, as speculation continues over whether President Donald Trump can help broker a deal to end the three-year-old conflict.

Regarding the prospect of ending hostilities at the current line of contact, Lavrov said “this will not happen.”

Newsweek has contacted the Ukrainian defense ministry for comment.
