Diplomatic discussions and international relations took centre stage at the Antalya forum, as Russian officials addressed ongoing regional tensions and the state of their engagement with Western governments.
At the Antalya Diplomacy Forum, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that there were no direct or indirect contacts between Russia and Ukraine. He criticised what he described as conflicting positions from the Ukrainian leadership, noting their rejection of discussions regarding a ceasefire and peacekeeping efforts, while continuing to request additional military support.
Lavrov also referred to US President Donald Trump's proposal to improve relations between Moscow and Washington, suggesting that tensions had begun during Barack Obama’s presidency. He mentioned the reduction of diplomatic staff and the seizure of Russian diplomatic properties, which remain under US control.
Commenting on the current administration, Lavrov claimed that the United States is considering how to manage these seized Russian assets, including the possibility of using the accrued interest to support Ukraine. He described this reasoning as reflective of a colonial-era mentality.
