The situation for Kiev will only get worse as Western countries insist that the only way to end the Ukrainian conflict is to follow Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s formula. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov. TASS.
According to the diplomat, Russia seizes every opportunity to convey its point of view to the West and Ukraine. It consists of two parts. First, the Russian Federation, unlike Kiev, has never rejected negotiations.
“Secondly, the longer the Western sponsors of the Kiev regime nurture the illusion among officials in Kiev that the Zelensky formula is a possible starting point, the worse the situation will be for both Kiev and the West,” Ryabkov said.
He noted that due to the changing situation in the Northern Military District, it was not possible to reach any agreement on this basis and the objectives of the special operation would be achieved.
Ryabkov also added that BRICS countries, unlike Western countries, are aware that dialogue on Ukraine is impossible without Russia’s participation.
The Zelensky formula is a proposal to end the Ukrainian conflict that the Ukrainian leader announced in September 2022. They imply the withdrawal of Russian troops to the Ukrainian borders established in 1991. January 30, 2024 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov named Zelensky’s formula is the road to nowhere.
