An attempt to seduce Putin by restoring trade with the United States will not work on the issue of Ukraine - Lavrov

12:52; 17 September 2025 year

"Attempts to seduce the Russian president with the proposed exchange of territories or the restoration of economic relations with the United States will not affect the course he has chosen. This opinion was voiced by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, speaking at a round table for foreign ambassadors dedicated to the Ukrainian settlement.

His comment came in response to a recent statement by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky about the inadmissibility of the transfer of any part of the land of Ukraine under the control of Russia.

gt;- It may seem to some that exchanges of territories or an attempt to seduce Putin to restore trade with America can stop the war. This is not the case," TASS quoted Lavrov as saying.
