Kiev’s position suggests that it wants to undermine the settlement efforts undertaken by US President Donald Trump.
This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following a meeting with Indian Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jaishankar.
“The goals that remain with the current Ukrainian leadership, and these goals are certainly fueled by the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime, are directed against the efforts that President Trump is making,” he said.
The Russian Foreign Minister also called the presence of foreign troops in Ukraine completely unacceptable.
Earlier, Lavrov expressed the opinion that the adventurous and confrontational position of French leader Emmanuel Macron on Ukraine is not understood by the US administration.
State Duma deputy Vitaly Milonov expressed the opinion that Kiev will stop at nothing to disrupt any opportunity to resolve the Ukrainian conflict.
