Russia Not Satisfied with Trump Team’s Proposals on Ukraine: Lavrov

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov says that currently only Biden is authorised to engage with Russia on behalf of the United States.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said that Moscow is not satisfied with the proposals of US president-elect Donald Trump’s team to postpone Ukraine’s membership in NATO for 20 years and to deploy a contingent of EU and UK peacekeepers in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has already rejected the “peace proposals” of Trump’s team, according to TASS news agency. Although there have been no official initiatives from the United States yet.
In an interview with TASS, Lavrov said, “Judging by numerous leaks and Donald Trump’s own interview with Time magazine on December 12, he is talking about ‘freezing’ hostilities along the line of engagement and transferring further responsibility for confronting Russia to the Europeans. We are certainly not satisfied with the proposals made by representatives of the president-elect’s team to postpone Ukraine’s membership in NATO for 20 years and to deploy a peacekeeping contingent of ‘UK and European forces’ in Ukraine.”
Lavrov admitted that Moscow has not received any official signals from the United States on the Ukrainian settlement at the moment.
“Until January 20 – the date of inauguration – Donald Trump has the status of ‘president-elect,’ and all policy on all fronts is determined by the incumbent president and his administration,” Lavrov said.

Lavrov made a fair assessment of the political situation in regards to American foreign policy on the war being somewhat ambiguous due to the election.

Of course not. Now it’s your turn.

President Trump is going to end Putin’s botched invasion. Lavrov needs to tell his boss to get with the program.

What l see is a negotiation playing out. Trump has not even taken office yet and this thing is coming to an end.

I’m sure your boy Zelensky won’t be happy with any of the proposals either, because it will mean the end of his expired dictatorship.

“President Trump is going to end Putin’s botched invasion. Lavrov needs to tell his boss to get with the program.”
Sorry bud, the Russian ethnic areas of the eastern Ukraine are going to be Russian until the next war. The Ukraine and NATO lost in their gambit to defeat Russia and rape it.

General Kellogg will be in Kyiv the first week of January. Ukraine has agreed to negotiations prior to President Trump’s inauguration. Russia is still playing games.
To: wildcard_redneck
The problem is that the Kellogg side and the entire effort is that WE are the ones begging for a cease fire. That’s a weak position.
We are offering nothing but a cessation of shooting so we can flood Ukraine with weapons and NATO soldiers, giving Ukraine a defense pact (defacto NATO), and starting a timeline for bringing Ukraine into NATO.
In return we offer nothing. No end of sanctions, no repair of Nordstream, no full release of the stolen money and gold we confiscated, no reopening of normal diplomatic relations, no recognition of Crimea and Donbass as Russian, no repudiation of resurgent nazism in Ukraine.
Basically, the Kellogg plan is something WE need, not them. We get all our goals met, they get nothing.
Of course they have no reason to accept that.

Negotiations are one thing. Either side accepting the outcome is another thing. Either way, Zelensky isn’t going to be a happy camper, will get booted, and the people of Ukraine will finally be able to vote again. You’re extremely naive if you think Ukraine hasn’t been playing games all this time either. That’s what happens in proxy wars.
