Russian foreign minister blames US for failure of Alaska peace talks on Ukraine

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has attributed the failure of Ukraine peace proposals to the United States following discussions between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Speaking to reporters during a Shanghai Cooperation Organisation meeting in Kyrgyzstan, Lavrov acknowledged that the diplomatic initiative launched during the August 2025 summit in Anchorage had collapsed. Commenting on the unsuccessful outcome, the foreign minister stated, "Well, it didn't work," while suggesting that Washington bore responsibility for the breakdown of the negotiations. The summit in Anchorage was previously framed as an effort to establish a framework for ending the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. However, Lavrov's remarks indicate that talks have stalled without producing a lasting agreement between the two powers.
