Russia wants a package of documents agreed to underpin a long-term and sustainable peace deal in Ukraine with security guarantees for all parties involved, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Thursday.

Lavrov said Moscow believed U.S. President Donald Trump was sincere in his efforts to try to broker a deal, which Lavrov reiterated should address the "the root causes" of the conflict.

"We insist on a set of agreements for lasting, sustainable peace with security guarantees for all countries involved. Our talks with the U.S. president and his team are focused precisely on finding a long-term solution to eliminate the root causes of this crisis," Lavrov said.
