Russia & US Are Closer to Resolving Ukrainian Conflict, But Parties Need to Make Final Push: Russian Deputy FM
More statements made by Sergey Ryabkov:
🟠Kiev and its sponsors in the EU, not inclined to a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine, have redoubled their efforts to torpedo the agreement as a settlement is approaching;
🟠Setting artificial deadlines will not help reach an agreement on Ukraine;
🟠It is incorrect to talk about the timing of a settlement in Ukraine, since it is not the dates that are important, but the resolution of the essence of the issue;
🟠Russia is fully prepared to resolve the Ukrainian conflict;
🟠Moscow cannot go beyond the agreements reached during the Russian-US talks on a Ukrainian settlement in Anchorage; otherwise, no agreement can be reached;
🟠Ukraine has circulated a settlement plan that is fundamentally different from what is being worked on with the US;
🟠The scenario of Ukraine's collapse is not entirely speculative, but how realistic it is is an open question;
🟠Politicians who expect to defeat Russia in an open conflict "under NATO banners" are deeply mistaken: they will not succeed;
🟠The Russian side calls for thinking not about when a major war will break out in Europe, but about ways to prevent it;
🟠Russia would like to see Ukraine as a friendly country; we must try to bring this understanding closer to the Ukrainian side;
🟠The US is linking the resumption of air travel with Russia to the completion of the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict;
🟠The 90 billion euro loan allocated by Europe will not hinder the strengthening of Russia's position either on the front lines or at the negotiating table;
🟠The Russian side is open to contacts, but Europe does not yet have the corresponding desire and interest;
🟠The risk of a nuclear conflict has not been completely eliminated, and Russia is sending signals to the US that it is ready to "negotiate for real";
🟠2025 was a difficult year for Russia, but it became a year of hope, and the coming 2026 will be a year of victories for the country.
