On the 26th local time, a general station reporter learned that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov commented on topics such as the Russian-Ukrainian issue and Russian-American relations. Ryabkov revealed that the 20-point draft “peace plan” announced by Ukraine is “fundamentally different” from the 27-point content discussed by Russia during negotiations with the US in recent weeks. He stressed that the negotiations are carried out within the framework agreed upon at the Anchorage summit and is a mandatory requirement. At the same time, he believes that the resolution of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is really close, but “whether we can complete the final sprint and reach an agreement” also depends on the other side's political will. He pointed out that the Ukrainian authorities and European “sponsors” that do not aim to reach an agreement will “redouble their efforts to destroy it,” and said that the 90 billion euro loan provided by the EU to Ukraine will not change the course of events. He also reiterated that we should not focus on any artificially set deadlines, but rather focus on the root causes of this crisis and the issues that need to be addressed. Furthermore, Ryabkov said that there is still a risk of direct conflict between Russia and the US, and “largely depends on how the Trump administration will act in the future.” He revealed that the US refused to discuss the question of resuming direct flights with Russia until the Ukraine issue was resolved, while avoiding responding to the Russian diplomatic property issue in the US. He said that Russia is sending signals through various channels: “Let's finally reach an agreement and actually reach an agreement.”
