Russian ambassador claims UK resisting Ukraine peace deal

Andrei Kelin accused the UK, France and other European nations of not wanting to end the conflict in an interview with Sky News released on Thursday, 6 March.

It comes as European leaders hold crisis talks in Brussels on support for Kyiv following Donald Trump's explosive meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky.
