The peace terms raised by Russian President Vladimir Putin last June continue to be the only path to peace in Ukraine, Russian Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told Sputnik on Nov. 28.
“If the Kiev regime’s handlers, its puppeteers, recognize that there is no alternative to the solution outlined by President Putin at the meeting with the Foreign Ministry leadership on 14 June, adjusted for the developments ‘on the ground’ that have taken place since then, if they see that there is no alternative, then, of course, a negotiated solution is possible,” Ryabkov said. If the West continues along its current trajectories, there will be no basis for any talks, he declared.
“The choice before them is quite simple, binary—either accept what Putin has proposed or stay where they are now, with the prospect of further deterioration of the situation for them,” Ryabkov said.
