Lavrov declared readiness for a settlement on Ukraine at the Alaska summit

Moscow was ready to resolve the conflict in Ukraine at the Anchorage talks, but the American side began to "hesitate." This was announced on March 21 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"Our American colleagues tell us: let's settle Ukraine now (and we were ready for this back in Alaska, now they are starting to "hesitate"), look at more where you can make concessions, and then you and I will have huge economic prospects," he said on the "Remember Everything" program a fragment of the interview is published on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, according to Lavrov, Russia is being ousted from world energy markets. The minister called on Washington to respect Moscow's interests when implementing joint projects, as this is not happening now.

Calm due to the storm: the Kremlin confirmed a pause in negotiations between Russia, the United States and Ukraine

However, Washington's war with Tehran may force Kiev to compromise.

On March 3, Lavrov said that the understandings reached in Anchorage remain with the administration of US President Donald Trump, Russia can confirm this. According to the minister, the recognition of the realities on the ground in the Ukrainian conflict is "not about territories," but about the opinion of residents on these lands.

He clarified that European countries continue to impose the position that the core of the settlement is supposedly a guarantee of Ukraine's security, but at the same time they mean guarantees of security to the regime that currently rules in Kiev.
