On Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov saidMoscow seeks clarity on recent remarks by US President Donald Trump, who warnedof new tariffs on Russia and its trade partners if no settlement is reached inUkraine within 50 days.
Speaking to reporters following the Shanghai CooperationOrganization (SCO) foreign ministers' meeting in China, Lavrov questioned themeaning behind Trump’s timeline. “We want to understand what lies behind thisstatement. Fifty days—before, it was 24 hours, then 100 days. We’ve seen all ofthat. We genuinely want to know what motivates the US president,” he said.
Lavrov added that Trump is under “tremendous pressure” fromthe European Union to send more weapons to Ukraine, accusing the EU of pushingthe US toward imposing further sanctions on Moscow. “Those drafting thesesanctions will be the ones to suffer from them,” he added, affirming thatRussia has “no doubt” in its ability to withstand any new Western sanctions.
He also criticized European leaders, claiming figures suchas Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, and Ursula von der Leyen are seeking toescalate military support for Ukraine. He cited German military officials who,according to him, have discussed supplying long-range missiles to strike deepinside Russian territory.
“From Europe’s perspective, a ceasefire does not meanhalting arms supplies to Ukraine,” he said. “This turns a ceasefire into anopportunity for further militarization.”
He noted that European leaders make no effort tohide this approach, adding, “Our American partners are fully aware of ourposition. This model of a ceasefire is not acceptable to us.”
