Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia has a "clear conscience" regarding the Ukraine talks held in Alaska, according to TASS.
Blaming European pressure
Lavrov said it was not Russia's fault that the US side could not withstand what he described as unprecedented and brazen pressure from Europe.
'Buried Anchorage'
According to Lavrov, Europe later proudly declared that it had "buried Anchorage," a reference to the talks held in the Alaska city. TASS's report did not elaborate on what specific outcome or agreement from the talks Lavrov believes was undermined by this pressure.
The report did not include a response from US or European officials to Lavrov's remarks.
