Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov slammed NATO’s broken promises, accusing the alliance of relentless eastward expansion despite clear assurances. He blasted Trump and his team for only now pursuing a “deeper approach” to the Ukraine crisis—implying it’s long overdue. Lavrov fired a stark warning that any Putin-Zelensky summit must confront Russia’s core security demands, or risk failure. The tensions simmer as Moscow stands firm, refusing to back down while the West dances around its own shattered commitments. The stakes have never been higher.
