Russia FM Lavrov’s Interview to Carlson – Situation in Ukraine, Russia’s Relations with US

Russia does not believe that the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis is in the hands of Moscow and Washington alone, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson.

He noted that a peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine is possible only if Kiev abandons its plans to join NATO, closes Western military bases in the country and cancels exercises involving foreign troops. The West will have to take into account the realities on the ground.

The top diplomat clarified that Russia will judge Donald Trump’s administration by concrete steps, but outgoing US President Joe Biden wants to leave Trump a heavy legacy.
