As for Zelensky and his so-called team, they need to "gather the remnants of their critical thinking and accept the fair peace proposals put forward by the Russian side," Naryshkin also said.
"It will ensure peace for many, many decades to come—and everyone will benefit from that," he added.
Naryshkin stressed that the whole world knows that Ukraine does not know how to abide by ceasefire proposals.
"The Ukraine's regime has certainly lost all credibility, and the whole world knows - and has witnessed before - just how incapable this regime is of honoring its commitments when it comes to any ceasefire proposals," Naryshkin told reporters.
Zelensky previously claimed that Ukraine, which violated the Easter truce in the past, is ready for a ceasefire this Easter.
