MOSCOW, July 23. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reaffirmed Moscow’s commitment to the agreements reached with Washington at last year's bilateral summit in Alaska during a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Manila on Thursday, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
"Lavrov reiterated Russia’s readiness to resolve the [Ukraine] conflict through political and diplomatic means and reaffirmed Moscow’s commitment to the proposals put forward by the United States at a meeting between President Vladimir Putin of Russia and President Donald Trump in Anchorage, Alaska, which were accepted by the Russian leader," the statement reads.
In addition, the top Russian diplomat emphasized that further weapons supplies to Kiev were unacceptable. "When discussing Ukraine-related issues, Lavrov briefed his American counterpart on the real situation along the line of contact and stressed that further flooding the Kiev regime with weapons was unacceptable, along with the overall destructive policy pursued by European countries, which continue seeking to inflict a ‘strategic defeat’ on Russia," the Foreign Ministry pointed out.
International and bilateral issues
According to the ministry, the parties exchanged views on a wide range of bilateral and international issues as a follow-up to recent high-level talks between the sides.
