Moscow\u2019s position was announced against the backdrop of US attempts to bring Kyiv and Moscow back to the negotiating table and Russian attacks on Ukrainian cities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\">\n<p><strong>Briefly about the main points<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lavrov stated that Russia would continue fighting whilst negotiations were taking place.<\/li>\n<li>The Kremlin has confirmed that its conditions for a possible settlement remain unchanged.<\/li>\n<li>Moscow is demanding recognition of the occupation and opposes Ukraine\u2019s membership of NATO.<\/li>\n<li>US representatives have been in contact with Kyiv and Moscow without any public breakthrough.<\/li>\n<li>Two people were killed and at least 12 others were injured following the attacks in Kyiv.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Moscow is not linking the negotiations to a ceasefire<\/h2>\n<p>In an interview with Russia\u2019s \u00abChannel One\u00bb <strong>Sergey Lavrov<\/strong> said that, whilst negotiations were ongoing, Russia would not cease \u00abresolving issues by military means\u00bb. According to him, the diplomatic process and the continuation of the war can take place simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>This statement means that Moscow rejects an approach whereby the restoration of <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/politics\/zelenskyi-peregovory-ukraina-ssha-rosiya\/\">negotiations<\/a> must be preceded by a full ceasefire.

He again referred to the need to address the so-called \u00abroot causes of the conflict\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow is demanding recognition of the occupation of Ukrainian territories and objects to <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/politics\/britaniya-garantii-bezpeky-ukraine\/\">Ukraine\u2019s accession to NATO<\/a>. Ukraine has repeatedly rejected demands that would entail legal recognition of the occupation or the transfer to Russia of territories over which it does not have full control.<\/p>\n<h2>The US is maintaining contact with Kyiv and Moscow<\/h2>\n<p>Special Envoys of the US President <strong>Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner<\/strong> Talks have taken place in Moscow and Kyiv over the past few days. Whilst they did not result in any major breakthrough, they have kept alive the possibility of trilateral talks involving Ukraine, Russia and the US.<\/p>\n<p>On 9 September, the Kremlin expressed the hope that negotiations, mediated by the US, would resume soon, and stated that Moscow\u2019s contacts with Washington were continuing. <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> After meeting with US representatives, he said he had heard several \u00abworthwhile ideas\u00bb for further discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Among the possible topics mentioned were energy, grain exports and the exchange of prisoners of war.<\/p>\n<h2>Diplomatic statements are being made against the backdrop of attacks on Kyiv<\/h2>\n<p>On 10\u201311 September, Russian jet-powered drones attacked petrol stations in Kyiv. As a result of the strikes on 11 September, two people were killed and at least 12 were injured, including a child.<\/p>\n<p>Reuters reported that in recent weeks, Russia has been using high-speed jet drones almost continuously to launch strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities.
