Details: Lavrov once again said Moscow is "adhering to the agreements reached on 15 August 2025 in Alaska".
Quote: "Putin has repeatedly said that he accepted President Trump's proposal, and we certainly expect the position agreed on the basis of the American proposal to be implemented."
More details: Lavrov added that Russia expects Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner to visit soon.
Previously: In March, Lavrov said the atmosphere of negotiations between the US and Russia following the Anchorage meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin was constructive and friendly, but that the "spirit of Anchorage" was "evaporating".
Background:
- Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin met on 15 August 2025 at a military base in Anchorage, Alaska.
- The meeting ended without any agreements being reached or any ceasefire in Ukraine being announced, despite claims of "significant progress".
- The meeting concluded with no agreements reached and no ceasefire in Ukraine announced, despite both leaders claiming "great progress" was made.
- On 16 August 2025, after talks with Putin, Trump first spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and later with Zelenskyy and European leaders.
- Bloomberg reported that during the call with European leaders and Zelenskyy, Trump said Putin continued to demand the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the entire territory of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts in Ukraine's east.
- Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly said Ukraine will not agree to territorial concessions in exchange for a ceasefire, as Donbas would become a springboard for Russia's future offensive because Putin has no intention of ending the war.
