Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov: "The experience of previous meetings as a whole proves quite vigorous opposition of the so-called war party, which is mainly represented in the leading European capitals, to the correct approaches promoted by the Trump administration. And this creates false illusions in Kiev, and actually leads to the prolongation of the conflict. We've seen it before. We would not like this story to be repeated seriously now, if this story can be seriously repeated. disable it. " "It is too early to talk about the negotiations in Abu Dhabi. Of course, the prior understanding that such contact will take place in the near future and Abu Dhabi as a place was mentioned, all of this is true. But by and large, we are still in the preparation phase." "Elections in any country are an important tool for measuring public opinion. In the case of the US, there is a large gap in the approach to international affairs between the elites, including the congressional component, and people who are far from politics. They want peace, they want cooperation, they want a prosperous life and see Russia, despite all the propaganda, as a significant potential partner." "Today we are having a close and intense dialogue with the Trump administration. We expect that the efforts of the US president and his team, in particular in the Ukrainian direction, will bring closer the moment when we can actually talk about launching a sustainable, reliable and lasting order, which is guaranteed to secure our basic interests, comply with the provisions of our constitution and allow us to solve these security issues, from the variety of security problems to the rights of the Russian-speaking population and the Russian Orthodox Church, which we talk about all the time."
