Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also stated that Russia would not participate in the second peace summit, even if he receives an invitation there. Currently, there is no prerequisite for the completion of the Russian-Ukrainian war or any phase. This was stated by the Presidential President Dmitry Peskov in a comment to the Russian propaganda publication "RIA Novosti". "There is no prerequisite for the completion of the Ukrainian conflict or any of its phase," Peskov said.

He also noted that Vladimir Putin did not plan international contacts on December 30. At the same time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the Russian Federation would not participate in the second peace summit, even if he receives an invitation to him. "Many times explained that we are not going to participate in the Peace Summit, even if we get an invitation," Lavrov said. He recalled that in October 2024 meetings took place as part of the preparation of the Second Peace Summit.

According to Lavrov, Ukraine did not abandon the purpose of restoring its territorial integrity within 1991 and the requirements of withdrawal of Russian troops from these territories. "We know that the organizers want to invite Russia as we understand to put forward us some ultimatum," Lavrov explained the refusal to participate in the second world summit. We will remind, on December 26 Sergey Lavrov stated that a truce with Ukraine today is "path in nowhere".
