According to Lavrov, the Russian delegation arrived at the summit after reviewing Washington's proposals for resolving the conflict in Ukraine in advance. "President Trump, I won’t reveal a big secret, has said more than once: 'Here is our proposal, yes, it's partially a compromise,' and we accepted it. But he added that [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky would do what he proposed. Well, that didn’t happen," Lavrov noted. He added that the Russian side's "conscience" is "clear" on this issue. "You know how they say, a man's word: a man said — a man did. We said — we are ready. But on the other side, this approach has been modified," emphasized the Foreign Minister. Explaining the "failure" of the agreements between Trump and Putin, Rubio noted that it was impossible to conclude a peace agreement under the stipulated conditions due to Ukraine's disagreement with them. "That’s why that attempt didn’t work. So we will have to look for new proposals and new ideas, because that option was definitely not acceptable for Ukraine at the time, and I don’t think it is acceptable for them now," said the Secretary of State. Recall that Putin and Trump met in Alaska on August 15, 2025. The agreements between the parties were not officially disclosed. Moreover, it was not about a ready document, but about a framework principle for ending the war. According to a Reuters source in Moscow, the presidents of Russia and the USA agreed on the "Anchorage Formula," which implied the transfer of all of Donbas to Russia, as well as the freezing of the front line in other areas. Prior to this, Putin demanded that Kyiv withdraw Ukrainian troops from the "DPR," "LPR," Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions to cease hostilities. Zelensky rejected this ultimatum. Later, he stated that the Trump administration insisted — Ukraine must transfer the Donetsk region to Russia to end the war. However, according to Zelensky, Kyiv cannot agree to this, as such a step would undermine the country's defense capability, writes The Moscow Times.
