MOSCOW, June 15 (Reuters) – Russia is committed to U.S. President Donald ​Trump’s proposals to ‌end the war in Ukraine, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday, adding ‌that ​he is ⁠eager to hear ⁠from Trump’s envoys how peace agreements based on U.S. proposals would be ​implemented.

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared ⁠Kushner, who ⁠have led U.S.-brokered negotiations ​aimed at ending the ​war, will travel to Russia ‌again soon, the Kremlin said on Sunday.

The Europeans, meanwhile, are ⁠trying to foist their mediation services on Russia, Lavrov added, ⁠but ‌are wrong to ⁠assume that Russia ​is ‌losing the war ​and that ⁠they can issue ultimatums to Moscow.
