Russia says it's ready to review "serious" peace proposals with Ukraine

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Friday that Russia is “ready to review truly serious proposals based on realities and our security interests” amid its ongoing war with Ukraine.

“Russia has always been — and remains open — for diplomatic settlement of the Ukraine crisis,” Zakharova said, specifying that certain conditions must be met, such as the ending of Western military aid and Kyiv's military “activities.”

“The language of blackmail and threats is not acceptable for us,” Zakharova added.

Russia’s comments come one day after U.K. Foreign Minister David Cameron pledged an annual £3 billion in military aid to Ukraine for “as long as it takes." Cameron also said Ukrainians should be able to use British weapons in whatever way they please, as they were “illegally invaded” by Russia.
