President Putin articulated his vision for building connections at the first Russia-ASEAN summit – working through existing structures in a pragmatic wa, and suggested this process would ultimately lead to a Greater Eurasian Partnership, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.
Other key points from Lavrov:
The date for the next Russia-Ukraine negotiation round has not been set and is still being determined.
The Vatican as a venue for talks on Ukraine is somewhat awkward — Orthodox countries will be discussing issues on Catholic ground.
Zelensky’s legitimacy will be a decisive factor when signing settlement documents.
Ukraine assumed US support would be eternal, but Trump’s position is “this is not his war.”
The Trump administration engages with Russia based on national interests, but US positions have shifted before.
Unlike Europeans, the US openly talks about the need to discuss Ukraine’s territorial issues.
Russia has always emphasized readiness for peace talks aimed at eliminating the root causes of the conflict.
