Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said he hopes Russia's "special military operation" will end with a comprehensive agreement on the neutral status of Ukraine, RIA news agency reported on Saturday.

Ukraine on Wednesday rejected proposals pushed by Russia for it to adopt a neutral status comparable to Austria or Sweden, saying talks with Moscow to end fighting should focus on "security guarantees".
