said on Friday at a briefing.

“We saw this in the course of several previous conflicts and now we see in several frozen conflicts.

Our skepticism is justified, because we have already seen how Russia in itself in itself The beginning of the conflict called for a humanitarian termination in Mariupol, and how she herself immediately violated him. “

Washington is afraid that Moscow will use any pause for re -equipment, regrouping and re -attack with more cruelty.

“We want to see a fair world, and this is not a frozen conflict, but the recognition of the independence of Ukraine, its territorial integrity and sovereignty,” Price emphasized.
