Moscow has consistently maintained it cannot be excluded from discussions on security guarantees for Kiev, the Foreign Ministry has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Russian Foreign Ministry has pushed back against Western media reports claiming Moscow undermined Ukraine peace talks with the US by insisting it must take part in discussions about security guarantees for Kiev.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Bloomberg reported, citing sources, that remarks by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov about the principles of \u201cindivisible security\u201d<\/em> in Europe have \u201ceffectively fractured Russia\u2019s talks with the US,\u201d<\/em> while describing Moscow\u2019s stance as \u201can attempt to stall the [settlement] process.\u201d<\/em> The Wall Street Journal similarly accused Lavrov of \u201ctoss[ing] all sorts of obstacles\u201d<\/em> in the way of possible high-level talks between Moscow and Kiev.<\/p>\n

The ministry responded that Russia has followed a consistent policy on the conditions needed both to resolve the Ukraine conflict and to build a stable European security framework.<\/p>\n

Trump wants to \u2018coax\u2019 Russia but \u2018pressure\u2019 Ukraine into talks \u2013 Politico<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The ministry recalled that following the Alaska summit with US President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that a sustainable peace in Ukraine could be achieved only if \u201call root causes of the crisis are eliminated, all of Russia\u2019s legitimate concerns taken into account, and a just balance in security in Europe and worldwide restored.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He added at the time that Moscow \u201cwas ready to work on ensuring security for Ukraine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Later, Lavrov, responding to a question about the possible deployment of Western troops to Ukraine \u2013 which has been a red line for Moscow \u2013 noted that Russia \u201cwill firmly and strictly ensure our legitimate interests.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u201cAny serious discussion of security issues without Russia is a utopia.. [and] a road to nowhere,\u201d<\/em> he added.
<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cSo how can anyone consider Lavrov\u2019s words as \u2018undermining\u2019 the settlement process? On the contrary, Russia\u2019s position is marked by consistency, and the minister\u2019s statements confirm the points repeatedly voiced by President Putin on the Ukraine crisis,\u201d<\/em> the ministry noted.<\/p>\n

Russia has repeatedly said that the Ukraine conflict can only be settled if Kiev commits to neutrality, demilitarization, denazification, and recognizes the new territorial reality on the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
