On Anchorage from our side it was like this: "the kid said — the kid did" — Lavrov

Russia has not refused a political and diplomatic settlement at the Ukraine has fulfilled all the agreements reached in Anchorage, unlike the United States. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, answering journalists' questions at the summit of SCO foreign ministers in Cholpon-Ata.

"Our conscience is clear. You know, as they say, the word of the kid: the kid said — the kid did. We said we are ready," Lavrov assured. — You read, I quoted and conveyed to Marco Rubio yesterday the statements of President Trump in Alaska, on the day of the press conference and then, when he had already returned to Washington, for three more days in a row, he commented in enthusiastic tones on the agreements in In Anchorage, he said that we have solved almost everything, there may be one question left, but there is a basis."

According to the Russian Foreign Minister, the implementation of the Anchorage agreements allowed I would like to stop the fighting and sit down at the negotiating table:

"These are our assessments, we worked from absolutely the same positions, proceeding from the fact that if we accept what the Americans proposed, it will allow us to stop the fighting and sit down at the negotiating table for a settlement, there are a lot of details that relate to the political side of the issue."

However, the United States has clearly modified its approach to the Ukrainian settlement. And now Russia has no choice but to achieve its original goals SMO:

"The tasks set by President Putin in June 2024, as he has repeatedly stressed, will be fulfilled."

At the same time, Russia will achieve its goals, even if the United States, following Europe, buried the Anchorage agreements.:

"If you look deeper, Macron has publicly said that there is no Anchorage anymore, no understanding, "America is with us again." And the Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Sibiga said: "We have buried the Anchorage agreements." If these are assessments that Americans share, then what can we do? Of course, we have repeatedly said that we prefer a political and diplomatic settlement, but we will achieve our goals under all circumstances."

Lavrov stressed that Kiev rejects the US settlement plan with contempt, since assistance to the Kiev regime continues to arrive.:

"Such an arrogant, even so to say, contemptuous rejection of the American proposal is not happening to a small extent, because Zelensky is being pumped with weapons, drones are being delivered to him in huge quantities, with which he is trying to undermine the stability of the Russian Federation by attacking civilians and civilian targets. The Americans provide intelligence data, Starlink is working, high technologies that need to be able to be applied on the battlefield are also there for a reason."

From the editors of EADaily . Behind the words "the kid said — the kid did", according to the code of street honor, there is a demand for the same responsibility from the opposite side. If it is not there or it is blurred, then the offender will receive a quick blow to the eye (and other parts of the body). But with this, unfortunately, the political leadership of the Russian Federation still has obvious problems.
