Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Monday said that peace talks with Ukraine would continue, while warning there was a "real" danger of a Third World War.
Speaking to Russian news agencies, Mr Lavrov criticised Kyiv's approach to the talks.
"Good will has its limits but if it isn't reciprocal, that doesn't help the negotiation process," he said.
"But we are continuing to engage in negotiations with the team delegated by [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, and these contacts will go on."
But Mr Lavrov accused former actor Mr Zelenskyy of pretending to negotiate.
"He's a good actor," he said. "If you watch attentively and read attentively what he says, you'll find a thousand contradictions."
Given the current tension, Mr Lavrov said the chances of a Third World War were genuine.
"The danger is serious, it is real, you can't underestimate it," he told the Interfax news agency.
But Mr Lavrov said he was confident that "everything will, of course, finish with the signing of an accord".
"But the parameters of this accord will be defined by the state of the fighting that will have taken place at the moment the accord becomes reality," he said.
His comments regarding the risk of a third World War were later dismissed by the UK's Armed Forces minister James Heappey, who described Mr Lavrov's position as "bravado".

Why are you, you?
Why are you, you?
From this question, a new beginning.
From this question, a new destiny.
For you are a world, and a meeting of worlds.
Our dream is to unite that which has been
separated by history.
To return the many to the one.
A great story unites us all,
beyond colour and creed and gender.
The lightning flash of art
And the music of the heart.
We reflect all cultures, all ways.
We are a twenty first century wonder.
Universal ideals, visions of art and truth.
Now is the turning point of cultures and hopes.
Come with questions, leave with visions.
We are the link between the past and the future.
Here, through art, new possibilities are born. And
new answers are given wings.
Why are you, you?
Because we are mirrors of each other.
Because together we create new worlds.
Together we are more powerful than we know.
We connect, we inspire, we multiply illuminations
with the unique light of art.
