Discussions about the Western world's security guarantees for Ukraine without involving Russia are a "way to nowhere", warns Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

The West understands very well that seriously discussing security guarantees without the Russian Federation is a utopia, he says.

He also believes that the European leaders are making "clumsy attempts" to change the American President Donald Trump's position on Ukraine, and refers to Monday's meeting at the White House.

We heard no constructive ideas from the Europeans there.
