Russian Federation Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu, at the 14th annual meeting with colleagues from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), said that Moscow appreciates the efforts of the American leader to resolve the situation in Ukraine, RIA Novosti reports. "We see the genuine efforts and interest of US President Donald Trump in the world regarding Ukraine, and we definitely appreciate that," he said. Meanwhile, despite social‑economic problems, the authorities in Kyiv are not ready to discuss long‑term solutions that would bring sustainable and stable peace to the country, the Security Council Secretary noted. Even Ukraine’s European sponsors are taking an unreasonable stance: they continue to provide financial, military and political support to the Kyiv regime. Shoigu emphasized that Europe is ready to go all the way "in its anti‑Russian hysteria," and the Ukrainians have become expendable because of it. The 14th annual meeting of the CIS Security Council Secretaries is being held at the National Center of Russia in Moscow.
