ZVENIGOROD, July 6. /TASS/. Russia is not looking to start a fight with anyone, but will thwart all infringements on its vital interests and attempts to use the language of ultimatums, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told the 24th PIR Center International School on Global Security.
In his words, US rhetoric is drifting farther and farther away from negotiations on Ukraine. The United States has opted for an arms race, abandoning compliance with the limitations set out in the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), he added.
TASS collected the deputy foreign minister’s key remarks.
Collapse of Euro-Atlantic security model
The conflict in Ukraine has led to the collapse of the Euro-Atlantic security model: "The conflict in Ukraine, which was provoked by the West and largely planned by this group of countries, has led to the inevitable breakdown and collapse of the Euro-Atlantic security model."
