Russian foreign minister says Ukraine peace talks are going the wrong way

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said negotiations with Ukraine are headed in the wrong direction and that all security guarantees discussed during talks in Istanbul are now null and void. He stated the path to peace remains long.

Lavrov also commented on U.S. politics, saying Donald Trump's past acknowledgment of Russia's concerns about NATO was a 'huge step'. He accused Trump of betraying commitments made to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
