Without eliminating ’causes’ of war, no ’freeze’ is possible, - Russian Foreign Ministry
Russia has stated that it will not agree to a "freeze" on the war without addressing its alleged "causes."
This was stated by Mikhail Galuzin, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, in comments to Russian propagandists, according to Censor.NET.

"As Russian President Vladimir Putin has said on numerous occasions, no ‘freeze’ is possible without addressing the causes of this crisis," Lavrov's deputy said.
Galuzin also complained about the Defense Forces’ strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure.
"We hope there will be an adequate response from the international community, particularly from the U.S. and European countries," he added.
Galuzin considers U.S. actions regarding Ukraine to be "contradictory."
"The ongoing supply of American weapons to the Kyiv regime, the provision of intelligence data, and other forms of assistance speak for themselves and are inconsistent with the pursuit of peace," said the deputy foreign minister of the occupying country.
