Zelenskyy said he had not been informed of such an agreement and that Ukraine was ready for a ceasefire if Russia also observed it. Lavrov said Russia would continue pursuing the declared objectives of its military operation in Ukraine. He argued that a temporary ceasefire could give Ukraine time to regroup and said Moscow would not rely on assurances.<\/p>\n<p>On Lebanon, Lavrov said Russia shared Beirut\u2019s view that a United Nations contingent should remain in southern Lebanon beyond 2026, potentially with a different structure and powers. He said its mandate should include maintaining peace and documenting violations. The two sides also agreed to resume the work of the Russian-Lebanese Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=27319\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media News Desk Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has not confirmed that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop attacks on energy infrastructure.
