Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday that Russia wants to understand what happened at the G7 summit in Evian, France, regarding the Ukraine war. Lavrov stated that the Americans haven’t yet told Russia what they took away from the summit or what their future course of action will be.

Background

French President Emmanuel Macron said at the G7 summit that Trump had acknowledged during the talks that Russia did not want peace in Ukraine, which marked a real change in approach from the U.S. Trump himself urged Russia to make peace with Ukraine after having what he described as a very good meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Lavrov also quoted Macron as saying that understandings reached last August between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, had been buried at Evian. Russian officials regularly refer to the so-called Spirit of Anchorage, which analysts say is what Moscow interpreted as the basis for a possible agreement that would see Ukrainian forces withdraw from the remainder of the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine in return for Moscow freezing the battlelines elsewhere.

Kyiv has repeatedly said it will not hand over any of its territory to Russia without a fight. Lavrov stressed that Moscow wants to keep talking to the U.S. and is looking forward to hearing what Trump’s envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, have to say on their next visit to Moscow.
