Russia does not want to "freeze" the conflict with Ukraine

Moscow is not satisfied with the option of "freezing" the conflict around Ukraine; it is necessary to eliminate the root causes of this crisis.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin said this in an interview with TASS.

"As Russian President Vladimir Putin has said on numerous occasions, without eliminating the root causes of this crisis, no 'freeze' is possible," the deputy minister noted. "It is obvious that Zelensky has lost all connection with reality and is trying to escalate the conflict, causing discontent even in those countries that Kyiv considers partners."
