Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has announced that Moscow is entering its upcoming talks with the United States in Alaska with a well-prepared and clearly defined position.
Speaking to reporters, Lavrov said, “We do not make any assumptions in advance. We know we have arguments, and our position is clear. We will present them.”
The minister noted that the groundwork for the discussions had already been laid during recent visits by U.S. Special Envoy Stephen Witkoff, who represented U.S. President Donald Trump. “The President has already addressed this matter. Witkoff was speaking on behalf of President Trump. We hope that tomorrow we will continue this very useful conversation,” Lavrov added.
While no detailed agenda has been released, the Alaska meeting is expected to cover a range of pressing issues between Moscow and Washington, including security concerns, diplomatic tensions, and regional stability.
The talks come at a time of heightened geopolitical uncertainty, with both nations navigating complex relations marked by moments of cooperation alongside sharp disagreements. Analysts say Lavrov’s comments signal Moscow’s intent to approach the meeting as a serious negotiation rather than a symbolic gesture.
