"Judging from numerous leaks and Donald Trump's interview with Time magazine on December 12, their idea is to suspend hostilities along the line of contact and transfer responsibility for confrontation with Russia to the Europeans," Lavrov said at a news conference.
"We are not happy, of course, with the proposals made by members of the Trump team to postpone Ukraine's admission to NATO for 20 years and to station British and European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine."
"Moscow would refuse to accept Ukraine's NATO membership regardless of the territorial factor," Lavrov asserted, highlighting Russia's strong opposition to NATO’s expansion.
Lavrov warned that Trump's reported plan was a complete non-starter stating it would be up to Trump to reach out to Moscow first regarding the war.
