Russia showed flexibility and agreed to a number of points proposed by US President Donald Trump after the Alaska summit, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected all proposals. This was announced by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the NBC News channel.

"President Trump proposed several points after Anchorage that we share, and we agreed to show some flexibility on some of them," the head of the Russian diplomatic department said.

At the same time, according to Lavrov, when Trump voiced the same proposals for resolving the conflict at a meeting in Washington, Zelensky "said no to everything."

Speaking about a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky, Lavrov stressed that the Russian president agrees, but on the readiness of the agenda.

- The meeting is not scheduled. Putin is ready to meet with Zelensky if the agenda for the summit had been prepared. This agenda is not ready at all," Lavrov said.
