Russian Foreign Minister Sergey LavrovMOSCOW, Apr 25 The US and the UK are putting pressure on Ukraine, in order to delay the peace talks, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. «Neither the United States nor Great Britain advise (Vladimir) Zelensky to accelerate negotiations. They recommend toughening their position,» Lavrov said on Channel One. According to the minister, Ukraine refused to sign it the theses proposed at the talks in Istanbul, which, according to him, was a huge step back in the negotiation process. «I think that this step back was taken on the advice of our American and British colleagues, first of all. Maybe the Poles played some role here , the Balts,» Lavrov noted.
