Russia Says U.S. Not ‘Objective Mediator’ in Ukraine

Lavrov said Washington is backing sanctions and military aid for Ukraine as US-led peace talks remain frozen, he told foreign envoys.

  • Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the United States on Tuesday of abandoning its role as an "objective mediator" in the Ukraine war, citing escalating sanctions pressure on Russia as evidence of the shift.
  • US-Brokered diplomacy remains frozen since President Donald Trump pivoted toward the Middle East after ordering strikes on Iran in late February, leaving the Ukraine conflict at a stalemate.
  • During a summit in France earlier this month, leaders agreed to increase pressure on the Russian "war economy" by strengthening sanctions, including on Moscow's fossil fuel revenues.
  • Lavrov claimed that military support for Ukraine makes Europe a "major threat" to international peace and security, further distancing Russia from diplomatic efforts.
  • Russia maintains its demand for total withdrawal from the Donbas region as a precondition for peace, while Ukraine refuses to cede territory, effectively stalling any potential negotiations.
