Lavrov: “Russia and USA will continue to consult”
Russia and the United States will continue to consult on the conflict in Ukraine. This was stated by the Russian Foreign Minister, Serghei Lavrov, in an interview with Canale 1. “Returning to the theme of the future role that the United States will play in the Ukrainian question, we broke up to Anchorage after having accepted the paradigm promoted by Donald Trump, based on the understanding of the deep causes and on the understanding of our position. And he has not discussed this position, stating that he will consult with his allies, “said the head of the Kremlin diplomacy. “Europeans did not hide the fact that they continue openly to dissuade the US leadership from any constructive action against Russia in the context of the Ukrainian crisis. They want the United States to return to the slippery china in which they were under Joe Biden, when it was called “Joe Biden’s war” “, Lavrov underlined.
“We understand, and President Putin has repeatedly affirmed him, that in the end a lasting agreement implies a compromise”, continued Lavrov, “we are ready to seek a compromise on condition that our legitimate security interests are protected, the legitimate interests of the Russian people in Ukraine, as well as the legitimate interests of the other parties of this agreement”. “The position of the Trump administration includes the understanding of the problems related to NATO, and have publicly affirmed it,” said Russian Foreign Minister, “there is also the agreement that the referendums held in Crimea and in other territories cannot be ignored. Any agreement must take into account the results of these referendums. How this will happen exactly, immediately or gradually, is another question. They recognized the essence of our approach and are working on this base ». Speaking of a possible meeting between Putin and the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Lavrov warned that “we need to hear an answer to the proposals we have advanced and the approaches discussed to Anchorage”. «As far as we know, [l’Ucraina] He rejected them. The considerations formulated by the Americans in Alaska, who explained the deep causes and affirmed the need to eliminate them, were transmitted through Steven Witkoff. They were rejected, “concluded Lavrov.
