[Russian Foreign Minister Says Ready to Resume Talks with Ukraine at Any Time] According to a report by Jinse Finance on June 23, citing CCTV, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated on the 23rd local time that Russia is ready to resume negotiations with Ukraine from where they were interrupted. He noted that the terms of a resolution to the conflict were discussed and agreed upon nearly a year ago in Anchorage. However, he believes that this consensus has been shelved to buy time for Ukraine to rearm. On the same day, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov pointed out that Washington's recent stance shows signs of deviating from the Anchorage consensus, but Russia's position has not changed. Dialogue between Russia and the U.S. on the Ukraine issue has not been interrupted and will continue.
