Moscow, July 15 (Xinhua) — Russia will continue to achieve its goals through a special military operation (SMO) if Moscow's willingness to negotiate through diplomatic means does not find a response, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Tuesday.
S. Ryabkov pointed out that Moscow is ready to negotiate, and the diplomatic path to settlement remains preferable for it. If the Russian Federation's readiness to negotiate does not find a response, the goals set will continue to be achieved through the SVO, the Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized.
The diplomat drew attention to the fact that for Moscow “this position is unshakable.” “We would like Washington and NATO as a whole to treat it with the utmost seriousness,” S. Ryabkov pointed out.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Alexander Grushko stated that Moscow has a negative attitude towards the supply of weapons to Ukraine through NATO, “this is further evidence that NATO is not really interested in peace.”
“I would like to remind you that at the summit in The Hague /NATO Secretary General Mark/ Rutte stated that ‘our common task is to make NATO more lethal’, not in the sense that it will die in a few days, but to make it more deadly, and also to keep Ukraine in the fight,” noted A. Grushko.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump said Russia needed to reach a deal on the conflict in Ukraine within 50 days, as well as to supply American weapons to the Ukrainian Armed Forces through NATO.
Commenting on the deadlines for concluding the agreement announced by D. Trump, A. Grushko noted that “first of all, this is very strange.” As the Deputy Foreign Minister pointed out, “any agreement presupposes negotiations.”
According to A. Grushko, “yesterday no call was made to the Ukrainian side to respond to the Russian Federation’s readiness to resume negotiations.” “From this we must conclude that there is no real interest on the part of the West to facilitate the successful completion of these negotiations,” the Deputy Foreign Minister believes.
US President Donald Trump on Monday announced a new arms supply scheme for Ukraine, under which the US will sell a large batch of weapons to European countries, after which they will hand them over to Kyiv and also replenish their stockpiles through new purchases from Washington. –0–
