Why It Matters
We are talking about diplomatic contacts between the Russian Federation and the United States, which, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, were blocked by Washington’s European allies.
MOSCOW, September 8 - RIA Novosti. The main task of the European countries after the summit in Anchorage was to prevent the United States from maintaining its own peace proposals for a settlement, which were fully accepted by Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.
“But it is obvious that Europe did not hide its main task - to prevent the Americans from keeping in force and without changes their own proposal accepted by Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Europe wanted exactly this,” Lavrov said during the “Big Game” program on Channel One.
The minister recalled that after US President Donald Trump described the results of the meeting in Alaska as a “colossal breakthrough,” European leaders were horrified and began to put pressure on the US administration.
“Of course, then the European allies of the United States were horrified, rushed to Washington, and began to “process” the leadership of the American administration. Many months passed. In June of this year, at the G7 summit in Evian, French President Emmanuel Macron proudly said that they “buried” Anchorage. They say that America is now with them. Donald Trump is now with them. And they are all against Russia again. That’s how things were,” the Foreign Minister emphasized.
