Sergei Lavrov blames U.S. and Europe for continued Ukraine war
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has claimed that the conflict in Ukraine could have been resolved over a year ago if the United States had not abandoned the “Anchorage agreements.” According to Lavrov, these agreements were reached during a meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
Lavrov alleged that European leaders pressured Washington to withdraw from the proposal, which Moscow had already accepted. He stated that if the U.S. had maintained the agreement and Europe had not intervened, the war would have ended a year ago.
In related diplomatic developments, Lavrov noted that Russia remains open to resuming trilateral negotiations involving the U.S. and Ukraine. He also denied rumors of a potential quid pro quo involving U.S. support for Ukraine in exchange for Russian support for Iran. Additionally, Lavrov announced plans to meet with U.S. official Marco Rubio during the upcoming UN General Assembly and emphasized that Russian military operations will continue regardless of potential peace talks.
