Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday comnended Donald Trump for saying that previous US support of Ukraine’s bid to join the NATO military alliance was a major cause of the war in Ukraine.

Trump has said that he saw no way that Russia could have allowed Ukraine to join NATO, blaming his predecessor, Joe Biden, for allegedly changing the US position on NATO membership for Ukraine.

“He is the first, and so far, in my opinion, the only Western leader who has publicly and loudly said that one of the root causes of the Ukrainian situation was the impudent line of the previous administration to draw Ukraine into NATO.


“No Western leaders had ever said that, but he had said it several times. This is already a signal that he understands our position when President (Vladimir) Putin,” Lavrov said.

Russia, after talks with the United States in Riyadh on Tuesday, demanded that NATO scrap its 2008 promise to one day give Ukraine membership of the US-led alliance and dismissed the idea that NATO member forces could be keepers of the peace under some sort of ceasefire deal.
