"London is doing everything possible to prolong the bloodshed," Zakharova emphasized.
Addition
As CNN writes, while Trump meets with European leaders and Zelenskyy at the White House, Russia expresses its position in New York. Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's acting chargé d'affaires to the UN, told reporters:
"Everyone hopes that this meeting will take place in the same spirit as the meeting with Russia, which, as President Trump himself admitted, opened up the possibility for a long and lasting peace, and we very much welcome such a scenario. We hope that the Ukrainian leadership, instead of thinking about its own salvation, will think about its people, who do not want to fight and are ready for peace. A just, honest and lasting peace - this is what Russia has been trying to achieve in Ukraine for many, many years."
Recall
Great Britain plans to send hundreds of military instructors and engineers to Ukraine within the first week after a truce. This will help restore the Armed Forces of Ukraine and patrol the sky to prevent ceasefire violations.
