Moscow, Washington Continue Dialogue on Ukraine
Although the summit did not produce a major breakthrough, Moscow has commended what it describes as Washington’s readiness to mediate and address the root causes of the conflict.
Russian authorities also argue that ongoing discussions open avenues for trade and economic collaboration, even in light of the US decision last month to impose sanctions on the oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil.
Ushakov told a journalist on Sunday that Russia continues to receive “many signals” from the US, with the Anchorage meeting remaining a foundational reference for the negotiations. “We do believe it is a good way forward,” he stated.
The official emphasized that the understandings reached during Alaska are still relevant since Washington has not explicitly indicated that they are invalid.
The presidential aide acknowledged that the peace initiatives and agreements from Alaska are not well received by Kiev and some European allies, suggesting that this resistance reflects a desire to perpetuate conflict.
“The Anchorage [meeting] is only disliked by those who does not want a peaceful resolution [to the Ukraine conflict],” Ushakov remarked.
Bilateral ties between Moscow and Washington had fallen to historic lows under former US President Joe Biden amid the Ukraine war, but there have been signs of improvement since Trump returned to the White House.
This year, US and Russian officials have conducted multiple rounds of discussions, including the pivotal Alaska summit.
