Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said his country won't accept peacekeeping forces from NATO countries in Ukraine under any peace deal, following high-level talks with the US in Saudi Arabia.
He said "any appearance by armed forces under some other flag does not change anything" and is "completely unacceptable".
Russia and the US said they had agreed to appoint teams to start negotiating the end of the war.
Ukraine was not invited to the talks, which its president Volodymyr Zelensky said was a "surprise".
The meeting in Riyadh was the first time since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine that Russian and American delegations are known to have met face-to-face.
