Potential agreements with Europe should be within framework of Anchorage — Russian MFA
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said potential agreements between Russia and Europe should be within the framework agreed by Presidents Putin and Trump in Anchorage. He also noted signs of a shift in the US position on those understandings, while dialogue on Ukraine continues.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that potential agreements between Russia and Europe should be within the framework agreed upon by Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump in Anchorage. Speaking to the Izvestia daily, Ryabkov commented on the European Union's discussions about a potential negotiator for talks with Russia, describing the debate as "a classic case of putting the cart before the horse."
Coverage Comparison
TASS reported Ryabkov's remarks in two separate articles. In one, he addressed the EU's internal discussions about who might represent Europe in negotiations with Russia. In the other, he spoke about the state of US-Russia dialogue and Moscow's commitment to the Anchorage understandings.
Key Claims
Ryabkov said Moscow is watching "with some interest the twists and turns of the EU's discussions on who might act as their negotiator with Russia," but stressed that the first priority should be ensuring future agreements fit within the framework agreed by Putin and Trump in Anchorage.
He stated that Moscow will not back down from ensuring that all agreements are within the Anchorage framework, adding that if the other side holds different views, it "needs to further reflect on the reasons for its own misguided approach to this extremely important, very serious, and troubling issue."
Ryabkov confirmed that Russia has observed "signs of a shift" in the US position away from the understandings reached in Anchorage, while reiterating that Russia's position remains unchanged and is based on those understandings.
He noted that the dialogue between Russia and the US on Ukraine has not been interrupted, saying "the dialogue with the Americans continues."
On Iran, Ryabkov said Russia is ready to assist Iran with practical measures to reach an agreement with the US, expressing hope for Iran's success in that effort.
TASS also reported that Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov said earlier that Russia was ready for dialogue with the European Union.
According to TASS, EU countries failed to agree on either a candidate for a negotiator with Russia or the content of possible negotiations at the EU summit on June 18-19. The report said EU leaders declared that the time for negotiations had not come, and that the EU would never mediate but would only act on Ukraine's side.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
