Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov appeared before journalists wearing a sweater with the "USSR" inscription during his visit to the U.S. state of Alaska. His appearance in this attire became a notable event.
A video showing Sergey Lavrov, who is part of the Russian delegation participating in the U.S.-Russia talks in Alaska, entering a hotel in Anchorage wearing a black sweater with the "USSR" inscription was published by "Izvestia."
Journalists asked Lavrov whether it was his first time visiting Alaska. He replied that he had been there before but did not answer the question, "Did you like it here?"
For reference, today, August 15, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are scheduled to meet at the Elmendorf-Richardson military base in Alaska. Initially, the presidents will hold a one-on-one meeting, followed by expanded talks with the participation of delegations and a working breakfast.
Apart from Lavrov, the Russian delegation includes Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov, Defense Minister Andrei Belousov, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, and Economic Cooperation Representative Kirill Dmitriev.
The focus of the talks will be ending the military conflict in Ukraine, security guarantees, as well as restoring trade and economic relations between the two countries.
