According to the foreign minister, the main lesson of Anchorage is that “any peace plan designed without Ukraine is destined to become a ghost and disappear.”<\/p>\n
Sybiha called on Moscow to abandon what he described as illusions and instead respond to Ukraine’s proposals for direct negotiations.<\/p>\n
“Russia should stop believing in ghosts and instead respond to Ukraine’s serious proposals to sit down at the negotiating table and end this war. The longer Putin refuses to accept the reality that he will never achieve any of his battlefield objectives, the worse it will be for Russia,” he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Sybiha’s remarks came after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that no agreements on Ukraine had been reached during the August 2025 meeting in Anchorage between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
