Nearly two months after US President Donald Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin for talks on the Ukraine war, a senior Russian official said on Wednesday that the "powerful momentum" from that meeting has "largely faded. " "Unfortunately, we must admit that the powerful momentum generated by Anchorage in favour of agreements... has largely gone," Russian deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov said, according to Russian news agencies. He blamed European leaders for the continuing impasse, saying, “This is the result of destructive activities, primarily by the Europeans.” On the possibility of the US sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, Rybakov warned of “severe” consequences and demanded Washington reconsider any such move.
