#Outcomes2025 🎙Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during his annual news conferenceon the Russian diplomacy outcomes in 2025(January 20, 2026) 💬Sergey Lavrov: At a time when we are witnessing turbulent developments amid the strengthening of multipolarity, the issue on the agenda is dialogue on how to bring order to it. This will take a considerable amount of time, some say – an entire historical era. But this process is inevitable. The fact that this is being recognized by the key players is confirmed, among other things, by the initiative of the US President to establish a “Peace Council”. We have recently received concrete proposals and a draft charter for this structure. This initiative reflects the US understanding that even with its own foreign policy philosophy, it proceeds from the need to bring together a group of countries willing to cooperate in one area or another. Some may object that the “Peace Council” has been conceived and announced in such a way that everyone would be expected to subordinate themselves to the US. This is indeed the situation Washington would like to see at present. ☝️ However, I can assure you that the Trump administration – for all the actions that are now widely discussed around the world – is an administration of pragmatists. It recognizes the need to not merely unite a large number of countries under its leadership, but also to fully take into account their legitimate interests. I would stress once again that this position, this readiness and this understanding of the need to fully consider a partner’s interests are clearly reflected in the approaches of the Trump administration to the Ukrainian settlement. It is the only Western country prepared to address the task of eliminating the root causes of this conflict, which was largely created by President Trump’s predecessor – Joe Biden and his administration. 👉 This process is only at its very beginning. It will not be easy and will require the mobilization of all resources – the centres of growth and centres of influence I have mentioned. However, given goodwill – and we do see signs that such goodwill may take root – much can be achieved. 📺Watch the news conference in full
