Kremlin ‘Not Happy’ With Trump Team’s Proposals To End War With Ukraine

In an interview with Russian state-run media outlet TASS, Lavrov said Russia has yet to receive official proposals to end the war but was not keen on the ideas reported in the media.

“We are not happy, of course, with the proposals made by members of the Trump team to postpone Ukraine’s admission to NATO for 20 years and to station British and European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine,” Lavrov said.

Lavrov said that Moscow would refuse to accept NATO membership regardless of whether Russia gets territory in Ukraine and called for “reliable and legally binding agreements” to create a lasting peace.

The top Russian diplomat also cast doubt on Trump’s ability to restore relations with Moscow.

“Even if Trump tries to relaunch bilateral ties, he will have to swim against the stream,” Lavrov said, citing the bipartisan focus on standing up to Russia in Washington.
