For Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, a solution to the conflict in Ukraine “is close, a last effort is needed”. But Kiev and Europe, he added, seem to be “strengthening their efforts to scuttle the agreement”. He declared this while speaking on the talk show «60 Minutes», on the Rossija-1 broadcaster.
“I believe that December 25, 2025 will remain in our memory as a milestone, the day when we came very close to a solution,” Ryabkov said. «If we manage to make the final effort and reach an agreement – he concluded – it will depend on us and on the political will of the other party».
