Lavrov: Moscow is surprised by another change in Trump's rhetoric on Ukraine

Moscow is surprised that US President Donald Trump unexpectedly "went back to his positions" on the Ukrainian issue, which have been worked out for a long time.

This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov following the results of the high-level plenary session of the third Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security.

Thus, the head of Russian diplomacy commented on another change in Trump's position on the settlement of the armed conflict to Ukraine.

Our Minister recalled that earlier the head of the White House advocated long-term sustainable peace, not a temporary ceasefire for a year or two. In this regard, the Russian Foreign Minister called Trump's change of rhetoric "amazing".

"It was surprising that suddenly President Trump again went to positions that, it would seem, have already been worked out and which reflect only the feverish desire of the Europeans and the Zelensky regime to get a pause in order to pump up the Kiev structure with weapons again," TASS quotes Lavrov.

He expressed the hope that the logic of establishing a long-term peace, which the US president voiced during the summit in Alaska, will prevail.

"We very much hope that President Trump wants a truly sustainable peace, and not creating conditions for continued injections of weapons and money into the Kiev regime, so that it would not abandon its efforts, be a tool of the Europeans in the war against the Russian Federation," the Russian Foreign Minister concluded.

Earlier, EADaily reported that, according to Sergey Lavrov, the United States does not want to cooperate with Russia in the field of air traffic, as long as it is not a priority for Washington.
