Lavrov Says Congressional Support for Ukraine Under Trump Marks Policy Continuity

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has interpreted recent remarks made by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio before Congress in support of Ukraine as a sign that Washington's stance on the conflict has persisted across administrations.

In his commentary, Lavrov suggested that the pro-Ukraine position articulated by Rubio indicates that what was previously characterized as a Biden-era policy has now become a Trump-era policy, implying continuity rather than a shift in American strategy toward the Ukrainian conflict.

The Russian diplomat's remarks underscore Moscow's perspective on the bipartisan nature of U.S. support for Ukraine and point to the consistency of American backing for Kyiv regardless of which administration holds office.
