The Russian Foreign Ministry stated that the European Union is fixed in a conflict with Russia.
According to Maria Zakharova, the reluctance to conduct a dialogue on the security architecture in Europe, as well as to look for ways to end the crisis, "destroys and destroys" the European Union from within.
"They [in the European Union] believe that only aggression, confrontations, attempts to seize or take can benefit them," noted the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The head of European diplomacy, Kaya Callas, said that in the situation with the negotiations on Ukraine, "European interests are at stake", Washington cannot discuss with Moscow the lifting of sanctions on Russia or the lifting of the asset freeze without the participation of Brussels.
"Russia does not want to talk to Europeans, because it is easier to talk to Americans. But these issues belong to us, and America cannot negotiate for us," Callas said.
Following the results of the tripartite meetings in Abu Dhabi, Vladimir Medinsky admitted that the representatives of the European Union could be participants in the negotiations on Ukraine if "their conscience wakes up".
