Washington's use of the dialogue with Moscow on security guarantees to continue the military development of Ukraine will inevitably worsen the situation. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov spoke about the risks of the United States in the dialogue with Russia, RIA Novosti reports.
According to the diplomat, the Russian side will not tolerate the preconditions of the American administration, which oblige the Kremlin to carry out events on its territory that “will please” Washington and other NATO capitals. ” “We want to quickly formalize those agreements that we have put on paper, denounced in a contractual form,” he said.
Ryabkov stressed that the preconditions would be viewed as a lack of negotiability by the United States. The Deputy Foreign Minister drew attention to the fact that everything that happens will be perceived “as a screen for the continuation of the same policy of military development of the territory of Ukraine and other states for anti-Russian purposes.”
“This is exactly what prompted us to put forward our proposals (on security guarantees). And in this situation, the responsibility for further deterioration, and in such a situation, it will probably become inevitable, it will simply become inevitable, and will fall on the American side and on the US allies, ”the diplomat concluded.
Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow hopes to receive answers to proposals on security guarantees in January next year. Peskov also added that after that it will become clear whether there is a foundation for organizing negotiations between the heads of Russia and the United States.
