Russia’s conscience is clear on the issue of talks on Ukraine, and the US could not withstand European pressure.
elchi reports that Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated this at a press conference following the meeting of the CIS Council of Foreign Ministers.
According to Lavrov, Russia fully accepted the proposals put forward by the US during the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in Alaska in August 2025. The minister emphasized that despite this, the American side could not withstand the “unprecedented and brazen pressure” from Europe, which, as they themselves stated, later “buried Anchorage.”
Speaking about the mutual relations of the CIS countries, Lavrov noted that there are no insurmountable disagreements between the states of the Commonwealth, and solutions are found for controversial issues. According to him, the positions of the countries cannot fully coincide, but the participants of the union take into account the specifics of national interests and adhere to “diplomatic culture like achieving a balance of these interests.”
Lavrov added that at today’s meeting of the CIS Foreign Ministers, although the parties had different views on individual issues, ultimately an agreement was reached on the entire agenda.
