‘This is how much Russians respect Trump’: Sergei Lavrov called ‘trollmaster’ as he arrives in Alaska wearing a USSR sweatshirt

Lavrov was seen wearing a sweatshirt with the inscription CCCP, the Cyrillic abbreviation for USSR.

The wardrobe choice of Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov drew attention as the Russian team touched down in Alaska Friday. Lavrov was seen wearing a sweatshirt with the inscription CCCP, the Cyrillic abbreviation for USSR, as he entered the hotel in Alaska where Putin is set to hold talks with Donald Trump. Former Lithuanian foreign minister Gabrielius Landsbergis quipped on X about Lavrov’s clothing choice: “‘Just give us half of Ukraine and we promise we will stop,’ says negotiator wearing USSR sweatshirt.”Russian fashion bloggers identified the $120 sweatshirt as the work of Selsovet, a Chelyabinsk-based brand that specialises in “Soviet heritage” clothing.“This is how much the Russians respect Trump. The Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov turns up to the ‘Negotiations’ with Trump in a fucking USSR T-Shirt. The Russians are laughing at America and the West,” one social media comment read.“You can’t make this up. War criminal Lavrov arrives to Alaska wearing a USSR sweater. The Russians aren’t even bothering to hide their bloody imperialist ambitions on US soil,” another wrote.“Lavrov mocks the Americans right in their own backyard by wearing a t-shirt that says CCCP (USSR). If Trump doesn’t react, America will become the world’s laughingstock,” a third user wrote. “Lavrov’s “USSR” sweater in Alaska is a clear nod to the Putin regime’s imperial ambitions. They’re stuck in the past and want to pull Ukraine and Belarus back with them – forgetting we are free nations that will never return to their “brotherhood”. Dictators cannot be appeased,” Belarusian politician Franak Viačorka posted.
