Putin’s Aide, Lavrov, Stuns Trump: ‘U.S. Broke Ties with Russia, Trump Must Act First or…’

In a striking statement during his visit to Kazakhstan, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made it clear that the breakdown in relations between Russia and the United States was not Moscow's doing. He emphasised that it is up to the U.S., under the incoming Trump administration, to take the first step toward restoring diplomatic dialogue. Lavrov asserted that Russia is ready to engage in talks, but only if the U.S. is willing to approach negotiations without imposing unilateral demands. His remarks came amid rising tensions between the two countries, and Lavrov warned that unless the U.S. changes its approach, relations will continue to deteriorate. #Putin #Lavrov #Trump #USRussiaTies #DiplomaticTension #RussiaRelations #GlobalPolitics #USForeignPolicy #InternationalRelations #PoliticalRift #USRussiaDiplomacy #ForeignPolicyWar #GeopoliticalShift #PutinTrump #RussiaUSConflict ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.194~GR.344~
