MoscowForeign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the Ukraine war will continue and likely escalate.
He spoke as Russia and the US are reported to have agreed a diesel deal.
Lavrov called it a purely business arrangement, with no conditions on the Strait of Hormuz or on security.
He said Putin’s call with the Finnish and Norwegian leaders brought nothing new, and that Europe’s approach has not changed.
