Resolution of the Ukrainian crisis is already close — Dmitriev

Russia is interested in the speedy end of the Ukrainian armed conflict. At the same time, Moscow is striving to do this diplomatically.

This position was voiced in an interview with CNN by the head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), special representative of the President of the Russian Federation Kirill Dmitriev.

"We want to put an end to this conflict as soon as possible. We all want this conflict to end diplomatically," he said.

The Russian envoy expressed his conviction that the resolution of the Ukrainian crisis is already close. According to him, the search for compromises is proceeding at a normal pace, and those who think otherwise simply misunderstand the situation.

At the same time, Dmitriev stressed that it is possible to achieve a diplomatic settlement in Ukraine only if Russia's interests are taken into account.

The representative of the Russian president spoke separately about the strikes on Ukraine. He stated that the Russian The Armed Forces choose only military targets.

As reported by EADaily, in the same interview Kirill Dmitriev said that the summit of the presidents The Russian Federation and the United States of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will take place, but later.
