“He’s Dead,” Says Sybiha in Response to Kremlin’s “Spirit of Anchorage” Accusation

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga has dismissed Russia’s references to the so-called “spirit of Anchorage,” saying the concept has no real meaning and exists only in Moscow’s imagination.

He wrote about this on the social network X.

“Russians love to talk about the ‘spirit of Anchorage.’ As with any spirit, no one knows for sure what it is. But Russians believe in it and think everyone else should believe in it too. Reality makes one thing clear: if the ‘spirit of Anchorage’ ever existed, it is definitely dead now,” Sibiga wrote.

Sibiga explained that for Russia, “the lesson of Anchorage is that any peace plan developed without Ukraine is doomed to turn into a ghost and disappear. It is time for Moscow to stop believing in ghosts and instead respond to serious offers from Ukraine to sit down at the negotiating table and end the war.”

“The longer Putin refuses to accept the reality that he will never achieve any goals on the battlefield, the worse it will get for Russia,” the minister concluded.

Recall that Yuri Ushakov, an aide to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, said that Russia no longer expects the implementation of the agreements allegedly reached during the meeting between Putin and Donald Trump in Anchorage. According to him, Moscow is betting on achieving its own goals in the war against Ukraine.
