Moscow, March 12 (Xinhua) — Russia will continue to take steps to quickly de-escalate tensions in the Middle East and resolve conflicts through peaceful means, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated on Thursday.

"Russia will continue to take steps to quickly end the escalation in the Middle East and resolve any disputes peacefully. We intend to further advance Russia's concept of common and indivisible security in the Persian Gulf, which will ensure the interests of all countries in the region are met," the diplomat stated during a weekly briefing.

She emphasized that it is crucial for all participants in the current standoff to exercise common sense and restraint, abandon double standards, and return “to efforts to quickly end the confrontation based on the principles of good-neighborliness.”
