Russian Foreign Minister Attributes Ukraine Peace Process Stagnation to Lack of Concrete Action
Moscow, May 13, 2026 – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has indicated a significant lack of progress in the peace process for Ukraine, despite reported improvements in US-Russian relations under the Trump administration. Speaking to Russian media outlets, Lavrov asserted that “good words” regarding potential cooperation with the United States have not translated into tangible action. The russian foreign minister stated that the dialogue, while present, remains largely symbolic.
He characterized the current situation as “nothing is happening in reality,” suggesting a disconnect between verbal assurances and actual diplomatic movement. Lavrov highlighted that the pace of negotiations continues to align with the framework established by President Biden, indicating a continued adherence to existing strategies. He emphasized the importance of regular diplomatic engagement between nations, but stressed the absence of substantial advancements toward resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
The comments come as diplomatic efforts to secure a ceasefire and negotiate a lasting resolution to the ongoing war remain stalled. Further details on the nature of the ongoing dialogue between the involved parties are expected to be released shortly.
