Several forces in the West seek to accelerate the development of an armed conflict with Russia in the next two years, declared Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.
"The text explicitly states the high probability of an armed conflict with us between 2029 and 2030. At the same time, there are signs of attempts by some forces in the West to force the development of the situation in this scenario already in the perspective of two years," he noted in a message addressed to the participants of the OSCE Round Table on the Militarization of Europe.
Accordingly, the vice chancellor noted that the Western countries are trying to prolong the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in an effort to gain more time for preparation.
