Moscow Signals Potential for New Ukraine Settlement Proposals

In a recent interview with News.ru, Ryabkov noted that Washington appears increasingly attentive to Russia’s core positions. While the Kremlin remains wary of Western intentions, the diplomat suggested that the United States possesses the necessary leverage to influence the trajectory of the Kyiv government.

This potential for dialogue arrives as Moscow continues to challenge the objectives of European allies, whom Ryabkov characterized as being fixated on the strategic defeat of Russia. By emphasizing the necessity of addressing ground realities, Moscow is signaling that any future negotiations must account for its established military and administrative positions within the region.
