U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio's statements that no agreements on a Ukraine settlement were reached during the meeting between the Russian and U.S. leaders in Anchorage raise questions.

Axar.az reports that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made the remarks.

"When my colleague Marco Rubio says that there were only proposals in Alaska and no agreement, it raises the question of what we actually mean by an agreement. If one side — in this case, the United States — put forward its proposals on a settlement and on how to approach this crisis, and the other side expressed its agreement with those proposals, then saying that there was no agreement is, to put it mildly, not very elegant," the minister said.

It should be noted that Rubio said no agreements had been reached during the meeting in Alaska last August.
