Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Donald Trump's return to the White House will not change Washington's position on the war in Ukraine, TVP World reports.
"Washington's basic approach to issues related to Ukraine, as well as to those affecting Europe, will not change because Washington will always seek to control everything that happens in the NATO orbit, especially on NATO territory," Lavrov said.
"The proposals to freeze the conflict in Ukraine along the line of contact are essentially the same as the Minsk agreements in a new package, and in fact they are worse," the top Russian diplomat added. He was referring to the series of international agreements that failed to stop the fighting in eastern Ukraine in 2014-2015.
BGNES recalls that during his election campaign, the US president-elect said he could stop the war in Ukraine within 24 hours. The outcome of the US presidential vote has heightened fears that Washington may cut its aid to Ukraine and force Kiev to the negotiating table with Russia. | BGNES
