Lavrov: Trump is the only leader who recognizes the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov believes that the United States has found the root cause of the Ukraine crisis.

According to a report by Russia's Sputnik News on April 25, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated that U.S. President Trump may be the only leader in the world who acknowledges the root cause of the Ukraine crisis.

After the end of the Cold War, NATO violated its commitments, expanding its membership from 16 to 32 countries, tightly blocking Russia's doorstep and posing a huge strategic threat to Russia's national security. Once Ukraine joins NATO, Russia's survival in the European region will face danger, which is strongly opposed by Russia. Only when Ukraine remains neutral and does not join NATO can the Ukraine crisis truly be resolved. The United States and NATO should abandon their policy of containing another major world power; this is the right way to resolve the Ukraine crisis.
