Lavrov: European Allies and Zelensky Undermine Trump's Ukraine Initiative

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has strongly rejected media reports claiming Moscow refused proposals put forward by U.S. President Donald Trump on Ukraine during their summit in Alaska, calling the reporting inaccurate and unfair. Speaking about an article published by The Washington Times, Lavrov criticized the newspaper's portrayal of Russia's position, arguing that journalists had ignored what he described as Moscow's acceptance of the proposals discussed at the meeting. Lavrov Says Russia Accepted Trump's Proposals The article, published on June 15, stated that the Kremlin had rejected President Trump's demand that Russia agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine within the following 50 days. It also claimed Trump had become frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin because negotiations had failed to produce meaningful progress.
