Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov warned against the possibility that Europe's participation in the negotiations would frustrate valuable efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
"There is a very deep gap in attitudes (between Europe, Russia and the USA). - TASS reference), so the participation of the Europeans in the talks could, in general, be a setback and a failure in efforts that are currently considered useful and of a certain positive nature," he emphasized.
According to the senior official, Europe takes a dim view of the proposals for resolving the conflict in Ukraine presented by the American administration. Moreover, he noted that Moscow did not receive even one clear and useful idea from Brussels.
