JAKARTA - Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia and the United States (US) would carry out a number of mutually beneficial projects after the war in Ukraine "ended."
"US President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated that (the war in Ukraine) is not his war, but Joe Biden's war. He is trying to end it as soon as possible. That is a well-known fact," Lavrov said in an interview with Al Arabiya television station, reported by ANTARA, Thursday, February 19.
"But this war has become one of the main global problems. Therefore, first of all it needs to be eliminated, and then we can work on mutually beneficial projects," he added.
"Russia does not want war, and hopes that those forces that care about their citizens, residents, and well-being will win in Europe," Lavrov said.
Lavrov said relations between Russia and the US were pragmatic, as both countries recognized each other's national interests.
"The relationship between the two is pragmatic... We do communicate. We understand we have to use common sense. We recognize the US national interest," he said.
