Moscow, May 31 (UNI) Russia will not halt its military campaign in Ukraine until the underlying causes of the conflict are resolved and peace agreements are formally ratified, senior Russian officials have said.
Andrey Kartapolov, chairman of the Russian State Duma’s Defence Committee, ruled out any unconditional ceasefire, stating that Moscow would continue its assault unless things are not “put into writing”.
“We will not agree to a ceasefire just for the sake of it,” he said on the country’s federal TV agency Channel One, according to Russian-state-media-TASS.
