Moscow, Russia – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that European countries are striving to
To prevent former US President Donald Trump from following his realistic approach to resolving the Ukrainian crisis,
Stressing that there is a clear fear within Western capitals of any possible American move.
It re-prioritizes the conflict in a way that is not in line with European interests.
Trump is more pragmatic with Moscow
Lavrov explained, in statements reported by Russian media, that Trump,
during his previous term, had proven to be more pragmatic in dealing with Moscow.
And that he was looking at the crisis from the perspective of American national interest
and not from the perspective of “Western hegemony,”
He added that some powers in the European Union do not want
Trump’s approach to return because it could mean “ending the war with politics, not with weapons.”
The Ukrainian war is an economic and security burden
The Russian minister pointed out that Western Europe is experiencing a state of political and strategic confusion.
After the Ukrainian war became an economic and security burden on everyone,
While Ukraine’s battlefield capabilities are declining despite the extensive support it receives from NATO.
Russia is waiting
Lavrov concluded his remarks by emphasizing that Moscow “does not bet on people, but on realistic positions.”
This is a clear indication that Russia is closely monitoring the course of the upcoming
US elections and their impact on the future of the conflict in Ukraine.
