Lavrov susține că SUA acceptă practic controlul rusesc asupra regiunilor ucrainene. „Și consideră închisă aderarea Ucrainei la NATO”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that the U.S. acknowledges Russian control over Ukrainian regions and considers Ukraine's NATO membership closed. He emphasized ongoing negotiations with the U.S. based on the realities on the ground, particularly regarding the annexed regions. Lavrov claimed that former President Trump viewed Ukraine's NATO aspirations as a settled issue. He dismissed Ukrainian President Zelensky's claims about U.S. mediators proposing measures to reduce fighting. Despite recent talks, hostilities resumed, and experts suggest Putin's stance has hardened due to successful Ukrainian attacks. Lavrov reiterated that NATO membership for Ukraine poses a threat to Russia.
