Ryabkov announced the preservation of Moscow's principled position on Ukraine

Russia remains open to dialogue with the United States on the Ukrainian issue, but this does not mean that Moscow will abandon its principled positions. This was announced on August 21 by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

According to him, Moscow is ready to listen to Washington's new proposals for a peaceful settlement, which were previously discussed by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. He also expressed the opinion that time is working against Kiev and the EU countries.

"We remain open to dialogue with Washington, but this does not mean that we will abandon our principled positions," Ryabkov said in an interview with News.ru .
