MOSCOW, February 12. /TASS/. Force has become the main instrument of Washington's foreign policy, and the administration of US President Donald Trump is doing what seemed unthinkable just a year ago, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said at the Zhirinovsky Readings International Scientific and Expert Forum.
According to the senior diplomat, Russia is ready for dialogue with the US on Ukraine on equal terms, and, if necessary, to engage in tough negotiations. He also noted that the transition of international relations to multipolarity will be accompanied by severe turbulence, but this process is irreversible.
TASS has compiled Ryabkov’s main statements.
US President Donald Trump "became the first and almost the only" Western leader to recognize NATO expansion as the root cause of the conflict in Ukraine.
The negotiation process on the Ukrainian crisis must "fit within the framework" of the understandings reached at the Russia-US summit in Anchorage.
