We are ready to reach an agreement, but there are still some specific elements of this agreement that need to be fine-tuned. We are engaged in that process, says Lavrov in an interview with American CBS.
Lavrov did not want to go into details about what Russia wants to "fine-tune".
There are several signs that we are moving in the right direction, says the Russian Foreign Minister.
One such sign, according to Lavrov, is that Trump "is probably the only leader on earth who has realized the need to address the root causes of this situation" and claims that it would be about Ukraine's desire to approach the defense alliance Nato.
Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to visit Moscow on Friday for a new round of talks with Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
Ukraine has previously agreed to a proposal from Trump on an unconditional ceasefire ahead of further peace talks, something Russia has rejected.
At least twelve people were killed and around 90 injured in a massive rocket and drone attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Wednesday night. Ukrainian rescue services were still digging for people in the rubble of a bombed apartment building late on Thursday evening.
Lavrov claims in the interview with CBS that Russia is only targeting military targets or civilian sites used by the military.
