Following the Alaska summit, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that Trump and his team are now pursuing a much deeper approach to resolving the Ukraine crisis.
Lavrov also highlighted ongoing tensions over NATO, emphasizing that the alliance has broken its promise not to expand eastward, citing five separate rounds of NATO enlargement since the original assurances were given.
As talk grows of a potential high-stakes Putin-Zelensky summit, Lavrov stressed that any future agreements must address Russia’s security concerns and the rights of Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
Lavrov has confirmed that Russia proposes China as one of the guarantors of Ukraine’s security after the war.
“Russia agrees that Ukraine’s security guarantees should be provided on an equal basis with the participation of countries such as China, the U.S., the U.K., and France,” the Russian Foreign Minister stated. (Called ‘indivisible security’ by the Russians’. For us, it is: What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.)
Zelensky though has reiterated that he will give up no land, will not demilitarize, still wants in with NATO, wants Russia to pay massive reparations in the order of hundreds of billions, and much more.
