Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on May 9 that the possible withdrawal of the United States from the negotiation process on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict was not a problem for the Russian side.

"If our American colleagues believe that they do not have the opportunity to advance their agreement, then this is not our problem," Lavrov told IS Vesti.

In addition, he noted that the Russian side confirms its position, which is that last year in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted the proposal of American leader Donald Trump.

Earlier in the day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov noted that reaching a peace agreement to resolve the conflict in Ukraine is a very long way. At the same time, he stressed that the American side is in a hurry on the issue of peace in Ukraine.

On May 8, Trump announced that negotiations on the Ukrainian issue were continuing. The American leader expressed hope for an early end to the fighting. At the same time, he announced that he was ready to send American negotiators to Moscow.
