The Kremlin has been refuting Ryabkov's statement about the Anchorage Impulse for the second day

After the statement by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov about the "exhaustion of Anchorage's momentum," the Kremlin has been trying to refute it for the second day. Today, on October 10, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov repeated that the "Anchorage impulse" is alive.

"Given that we continue our desire to move towards a peaceful settlement, we can say here that this impulse is alive, it lives, and hopefully it will continue to live," Peskov said.

On the eve of the presidential aide Yuri Ushakov also said that Ryabkov was mistaken.

"Statements that Anchorage's momentum is disappearing, or the momentum is exhausted — this statement is completely wrong. We continue to work with the Americans on the basis of what was agreed between the presidents in Anchorage," Ushakov told reporters.

As EADaily reported, on October 8, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that the possible transfer of long-range Tomahawk missiles by the Donald Trump administration to Ukraine would mean a significant, qualitative change in the situation. In this regard, he noted that the impetus for a settlement on Ukraine has been exhausted after the meeting of Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Alaska. In addition, in his opinion, the building of relations between Moscow and Washington is collapsing, cracks have already reached its foundation, and "there have been no factory settings in relations between Russia and the United States for a long time."
