Putin henchman issues chilling six-word threat to the West | World | News

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov issued a subtle implicit threat to Western leaders that they claim to have attempts to “punish” their country. President Vladimir Putin’s close ally was talking for the US and European officials for meeting the US Treasury department on Monday.

Former Ukraine Ministry of Interior Advisor Alexander Geraschenko shared by a speech on TV Klip Lavrov, “Do you know the wrong people, do you know?” He said. “What surprises me is that the West still cannot take any lessons from history in the context of attempts to restrict, suppress and punish Russia.”

The meeting, which lasted less than two hours, emphasized the tariff actions, the need for a collective agreement on sanctions, and other issues, as well as how to manage Russian dominant assets in Europe.

Secretary Scott Bessent, the White House, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US trade representative, including the Treasury department officials attended the meetings on Monday.

The European team included personnel focusing on energy, sanctions, financial services and trade.

Authorities will meet again on Tuesday.

The meeting is coming because Donald Trump tries to convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to sit for direct talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for the end of the three and a half -year war.

Mr. Trump peaked with the Russian leader in Alaska last month.

In addition, a Trump in August to end the occupation of the Kremlin has been followed by a Trump-imposed deadline-it has been spent since time.

On Sunday, Trump said he expects to talk to Mr. Putin in the next few days and that he acknowledged that it was more difficult to solve the conflict than he predicted.

Mr. Trump said to journalists: “I think I believe we will solve it. I trust that we will handle this.”
