Putin will convey Russia's position to the American negotiators, and then the task of the United States is to reason with its departments in Europe, Ryabkov said.
"Their next task is to bring reason to their departments, which I include European colleagues, who today do not show the slightest desire to show common sense," noted the deputy head of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Sergei Ryabkov also said that representatives of European countries feel disadvantaged because they were not included in the negotiations to end the conflict in Ukraine.
At the same time, Ryabkov believes that the participation of the Europeans in the negotiations can only delay the efforts made to resolve the conflict, because they do not accept the approaches of the Russian Federation and have a negative attitude to the ideas of the United States.
"The involvement of the Europeans in the negotiation process may, by and large, be a repetition and failure of the efforts, which so far can be characterized as beneficial and carrying a certain positive charge," the deputy minister noted.
