Media: the USA offered the G7 countries not to call Russia an aggressor
The United States opposed the mention of the words “Russian aggression” in the G7 statement on the occasion of the third anniversary of the war in Ukraine, Financial Times said , citing five sources. Representatives of the new American administration object to any such formulations, but the newspaper interlocutors hope to come with them to an agreement.
The Donald Trump administration diverges with the allies on the issue of Moscow’s responsibility for the war, writes FT. The performance of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky, which was planned for Monday, also has not yet managed to coordinate, the sources of the publication say.
Disagreements began after the US president actually accused Ukraine of unleashing the war, called Zelensky a “dictator without elections” and suggested inviting Russia back to the “big seven”.
