Russian President Vladimir Putin says the U.S. and its allies have ignored Russia’s top security demands but Moscow is willing to talk more to ease tensions over Ukraine
Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014 following the ouster of the country's Moscow-friendly president and later threw its weight behind rebels in Ukraine's eastern industrial heartland, triggering a conflict that has killed over 14,000.
He said that French President Emmanuel Macron may soon visit Moscow as part of renewed diplomatic efforts following their call on Monday. Lavrov made the same argument in a phone call with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, saying that he warned that Moscow will not allow Washington to “hush it up.”
Senior State Department officials described the call as professional and “fairly candid,” noting that Lavrov restated Russia’s insistence that it has no plans to invade Ukraine and Blinken replied that if Putin didn’t really intend to invade Ukraine, Russia should withdraw its troops. The top diplomats agreed that the next step would be for Russia to submit its response to the U.S. and for the sides to speak again.
