Political and diplomatic methods are needed, they cannot be discarded, but the goals are determined quite clearly, Ryabkov added.
“If Zelensky and his team are not ready for negotiations, and all those who stand behind him are configured to continue their thoughtless, or rather crazy pumping Ukraine with weapons – this is their choice. This is sad, tragic, but we cannot retreat “,- said the deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
