Lavrov Blames US Military Aid for Kiev's Rejection of Alaska Peace Plan
Russian Foreign Minister Dmitry Lavrov accused Ukraine of rejecting the Alaska peace plan due to continued US military aid. He claimed the US has shifted its stance on a Ukrainian settlement. The rejection is seen as a setback for diplomatic efforts.
Lavrov stated that Kiev's rejection of the Alaska peace plan is largely due to the ongoing flow of US military aid to Ukraine. He described the rejection as 'arrogant, even contemptuous.' The Russian foreign minister also noted that the US has clearly shifted its stance on a Ukrainian settlement, with military aid to Kiev being a key factor.
