Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov praised Donald Trump for his “common sense” in seeking to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict. He criticised past U.S. administrations, condemned the idea of European peacekeepers in Ukraine, and stressed the need for cooperation despite political differences.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Sunday praised U.S. President Donald Trump for his “common sense” in seeking to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
In an interview with Krasnaya Zvezda, published by the Russian Foreign Ministry, Lavrov claimed the U.S. aims to dominate globally and accused past administrations under Joe Biden and Barack Obama of trying to impose their will on others.
“Donald Trump is a pragmatist. His slogan is common sense. It means a transition to a different way of doing things,” Lavrov stated.
“But the goal is still MAGA (Make America Great Again). Now he has a new cap: ‘Everything that Donald Trump promised, he did.’ This gives a lively, human character to politics. That's why it is interesting (to work) with him,” he further added.
During the high-level meeting in Riyadh on February 18, Russian and American officials acknowledged their differences in world politics but agreed to cooperate where their interests align for mutual benefit.
Lavrov emphasised the importance of preventing disagreements from escalating into confrontation, citing this as the foundation of U.S.-China relations. He also claimed that Europe has been the source of global tragedies for the past 500 years, while the U..S historically played no instigating role.
The Russian foreign minister condemned the proposal to send European peacekeepers to Ukraine, arguing that it would not address the conflict's underlying causes.
"This plan to introduce 'peacekeepers' into Ukraine is continuing to incite Kyiv for a war against us," he said.
