Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the US of backtracking on a Ukraine deal made between Moscow and Washington during the Alaska summit in August 2025. According to Lavrov, the “proposals” were also initiated by the US, though the terms were never publicized.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. During an interview with Russian media outlet Izvestia at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Thursday, Lavrov was asked whether the roles of US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were appropriate, given that they were described as being “responsible for virtually all wars” involving the US. Lavrov said he saw no issue with their involvement before accusing Washington of failing to follow through on the agreement reached in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. “Aug. 15 of this year will mark one year since the Alaska summit , where the Russian leadership accepted the American proposals on Ukraine following their consideration,” Lavrov said. “Since then, we have seen no progress, no desire to persuade Ukraine to accept these American proposals.” Lavrov added that the US, including Witkoff and Kushner, boasted of potential dealings if the war in Ukraine is settled, but failed to fulfill their end of the bargain. “But, they say, Ukraine must first be resolved. We proceeded, and continue to proceed, from the assumption that the Ukrainian issue was resolved in August 2025 in Anchorage, as far as the Russian Federation is concerned. We accepted the United States’ proposal,” Lavrov said.
