Moscow is ready to present a "clear stance" at the upcoming summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, which will mainly focus on the Ukraine conflict, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said, according to RT.
He declined to speculate on potential results of the summit, RT reported citing Lavrov’s interview with a Russian broadcaster.
FM Lavrov has reportedly already arrived in Anchorage, Alaska, where the talks are set to take place on Friday.
“We do not predict anything in advance. We know that we have arguments, our stance is clear and well-defined. We will present them,” RT quoted Lavrov as saying.
Lavrov added that Moscow and Washington have “already done much” during the visits of US envoy Steve Witkoff to Russia. The American official has traveled to the country five times since Trump’s inauguration, with the last three-hour talks, mainly over the Ukraine conflict, taking place last week.
“Witkoff acted on behalf of President Trump. We hope that tomorrow we will continue this very useful conversation,” the foreign minister noted.
