Lavrov appreciated the US administration’s recognition of the realities in Ukraine

The US administration’s recognition of the realities in Ukraine is unique for the Western world and is worth a lot, says Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

In an interview with the “Big Game” program on Channel One, he noted that the American administration differs from the entire Western world in its recognition of the realities in the Ukrainian conflict. We are talking about both the legitimate security interests of Russia and the desires of the population of that part of Ukraine, which at one time accidentally ended up being part of the Ukrainian USSR, the minister emphasized.

“Recognizing this is worth a lot. If simply obvious things are accepted by the people we are talking about now, then it’s clear why the rest of the Western countries have sunk to the point where they don’t even want to accept the obvious,” Lavrov said.

On September 5, Russian President Vladimir Putin met in the Kremlin with the American leader’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and the American president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner; it lasted about three hours. The Russian leader emphasized at the meeting the need to eliminate all the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict, Russian Presidential Assistant Yuri Ushakov told reporters.
