The United States in contacts with Russia regarding Ukraine is based on recognition of the realities “on the ground.” This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, answering a question from former New Jersey Superior Court judge, columnist and blogger Andrew Napolitano on the “Big Game” program. The text is at the disposal of Lenta.ru.
According to him, US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and the American leader's son-in-law Jared Kushner during negotiations rely on the position that Donald Trump outlined immediately upon returning to the Oval Office, namely, the inadmissibility of drawing Ukraine into NATO.
“The second element of the United States position is recognition of the realities on the ground.” Moreover, I want to especially emphasize that we are not talking about territories. When we talk about realities, we are talking about people who, immediately after the coup in February 2014, were called non-humans, creatures, terrorists, against whom, when they rejected the results of the illegal coup, the army was used,” the diplomat emphasized.
