Lavrov states Russia is open to holding Russian-US summit in Budapest
“We are still ready to hold the second Russian-American summit in Budapest if it truly builds on the well-developed results of Alaska. However, the date has not been determined. Russian-American contacts are continuing,” Lavrov said.
He criticized a Financial Times report that linked the alleged cancellation of the Budapest summit to a memorandum on Ukraine, calling the claim false. Lavrov accused the newspaper of “distorting the essence and the sequence of events to blame Moscow and mislead (US President) Donald Trump about the path he has offered — one toward sustainable and lasting peace rather than an immediate ceasefire.”
Lavrov further alleged that Western backers of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “are obsessed with taking a breather and flooding the Nazi regime with weapons to continue the war against Russia.”
He also accused Western media outlets of spreading disinformation, claiming that “if the BBC could fabricate a video of Trump’s speech by inserting a call to storm the Capitol, then the Financial Times would have no hesitation in lying as well.”
