Recent media reports have said Trump\u2019s team\u00a0proposed the idea<\/a>\u00a0of Ukraine pledging not to join NATO for at least 20 years as part of a potential peace deal. Another report said Trump\u00a0wants European troops\u00a0<\/a>to deploy to Ukraine to monitor a future ceasefire.<\/p>\n “Judging by numerous leaks and Donald Trump\u2019s own interview with Time magazine on December 12, he is talking about \u2018freezing\u2019 hostilities along the line of engagement and transferring further responsibility for confronting Russia to the Europeans,” Lavrov said, according to the Russian news agency\u00a0TASS<\/em>.<\/p>\n “We are certainly not satisfied with the proposals made by representatives of the president-elect\u2019s team to postpone Ukraine\u2019s membership in NATO for 20 years and to deploy a peacekeeping contingent<\/strong>\u00a0of \u2018UK and European forces\u2019 in Ukraine,” Lavrov added.<\/p>\n Trump campaigned on ending the proxy war in Ukraine, but it\u2019s still unclear how he intends to do that.\u00a0The Financial Times\u00a0<\/em>recently reported<\/a>\u00a0that Trump assured NATO countries that US military aid would continue to flow to Ukraine after his inauguration.<\/p>\n “In a boost for allies deeply concerned over their ability to support and protect Ukraine without Washington\u2019s backing, Trump now intends to maintain US military supplies to Kyiv after his inauguration,”\u00a0FT\u00a0reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lavrov said that Russia\u00a0has not received any official offers<\/strong>\u00a0from the US and noted that official US policy is still being steered by the Biden administration.<\/p>\n “Until January 20 \u2014 the date of inauguration \u2014 Donald Trump has the status of \u2018president-elect,\u2019 and all policy on all fronts is determined by the incumbent president and his administration,” he said.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/inline-images\/lavrovandtrump.jpg?itok=rNdRICac\")
