UK Will Find It Extremely Difficult to 'Wash Off' Its Role in MiG-31 Hijacking Plot: Lavrov

"The FSB exposed everything in great detail, and I do not know how the British will wash their hands of it," the Russian foreign minister told reporters.

Key statements by Sergey Lavrov:

The UK has now lost its empire, economic and military power, but is trying to compensate for this;

▪London and the UK media are unleashing an information campaign;

▪The Financial Times' account of the cancelled Putin–Trump summit contains significant inaccuracies, including distorted timelines;

▪Trump’s claims about Russia resuming nuclear tests are false; Moscow remains open to discussing US concerns;

▪Despite some disagreements in Anchorage, Putin and Trump reached a mutual understanding, Moscow is ready to discuss the preparations for the next summit with Washington;

▪The proposed Putin-Trump meeting in Budapest should not be conflated with discussions on nuclear testing;

▪Russia’s START proposal has no deadline — a commitment can be made anytime before February 5, 2026.
