Recently, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that there are no deadlines to end the war, indicating that Moscow is not willing to rush into a deal.<br><br>This statement comes as negotiators from Russia and Ukraine met with US officials in Geneva, Switzerland, part of an ongoing negotiation process initiated by US President Donald Trump. The talks have been tense, with both sides refusing to budge on key issues.<br><br>Moscow has insisted on territorial and political demands that Kyiv has deemed unacceptable. Despite failed rounds of discussions, top Russian officials continue to resist the notion that a deal is imminent.<br><br>We have no deadlines, we have tasks, Lavrov said. We are getting them done.<br><br>Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov echoed this sentiment, cautioning against making premature predictions or defining the stage of the peace process.<br><br>It would be a significant mistake to try to define some kind of stage or make some kind of forecasts right now, he said. I do not want to make those mistakes.<br><br>Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly emphasized the need for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to resolve key sticking points, including the fate of territory in eastern Ukraine that Moscow is fighting to control.<br><br>Peskov reiterated on Thursday that Russia will not agree to a summit until the very end of talks and only to sign off on a deal thrashed out between the negotiating teams.<br><br>The lack of urgency from the Russian side may be frustrating for those seeking a resolution to the conflict, but it is clear that Moscow is not willing to compromise.
