According to Ryabkov, the Russian ruler Vladimir Putin, during telephone conversations with Trump, allegedly « confirmed the basic guidance on the need to eliminate the root causes of the conflict within the framework of political and diplomatic efforts. »
Ryabkov noted that in the event of failure to comply with the Kremlin conditions, Russia will act so as not to give the forces of Ukraine’s defense to use « any pause for rest and regrouping forces. »
According to the Russian diplomat, the Kremlin’s position is well known to Washington, and threats will not change it with sanctions.
« It is strange that the hot heads that have lost the remnants of the US Senate do not pay attention to this reality. We will continue the efforts to achieve our goals. Thus, the solution and choice – according to Washington, according to Trump, » – summed up Ryabkov.
