Russia, Ukraine and the US have not met in talks since mid-February. Since then, planned negotiations have been canceled because of the war in Iran, and Russia will not be open to new meetings.
"We have not forced any negotiations on anyone. We have always acted according to the principle that if our partners are ready, then we are." Lavrov said at a conference in Antalya, Turkey, the Kyiv Independent reports.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Russia and the US to continue the peace process, but US mediators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are currently focused on talks between the US and Iran.
