Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized that Moscow will enter this week’s Alaska talks with a firm, well‑defined position, choosing substance over speculation.
“We never guess anything ahead,” Lavrov stated. “We know that we have an argument, we have a position — clear and definite. We will present it.”
Highlighting the groundwork already laid through previous high‑level meetings, including the visits of former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun, Lavrov noted that discussions have been productive and rooted in mutual recognition of interests. “Much has already been done,” he said, recalling that Biegun spoke directly on behalf of President Trump during earlier exchanges.

Lavrov expressed optimism that this week’s continuing dialogue would be both “useful” and constructive, underscoring Russia’s readiness to engage openly and directly with the United States on key issues. Rather than engaging in political theater or media speculation, Moscow’s approach signals a disciplined diplomatic strategy—anchored in clarity, consistency, and respect for the process.
With Russia stepping into the talks confident in its stance and prepared to articulate it precisely, the Alaska summit holds the potential to become a turning point. By staying principled yet open to dialogue, Moscow presents itself as a stabilizing force in an increasingly complex world — one ready to pursue cooperation where interests align and to address differences with professionalism. In a time when global tensions often overpower reason, Russia’s call for measured, fact‑based engagement offers a constructive path forward.
