Ryabkov: The United States is moving away from the agreements on Ukraine

Statements from Washington's evidence is that the United States is increasingly moving away from the agreements on Ukraine. Washington chooses an arms race, refusing to comply with the restrictions of the START treaty. This was announced today, July 6, by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov to the XXIV International School of the PIR Center on Global Security Issues.

"The conflict provoked by the West and largely planned by this group on the In Ukraine, it led to the final breakdown and collapse of the Euro-Atlantic security model," Ryabkov said. "The War Party, represented by the ruling circles of Britain and Germany, France, as well as the leadership of the European Union and NATO, are trying to win over the Americans to their side."

The United States, in its approaches to the settlement of the Ukraine "actually took the position of Europe," it became clear during the Group of Seven (G7) summit in Evian, France.

"Let's see what will mark the beginning of the NATO summit in Ankara," Ryabkov continued.

At the same time, all the statements of the Europeans about their readiness for dialogue with Russia are only a distraction, and militarization It is difficult to perceive the EU otherwise than as a preparation for military aggression against Russia:

"The military preparations of the Europeans, carried out under the slogans of an "impending high-intensity war" with our country, are difficult to perceive otherwise than preparations for armed aggression against Russia."

Although Russia does not have any aggressive plans and does not seek conflict, it will rebuff "any encroachments" on its vital interests, as well as attempts to speak with it in the "language of ultimatums," Ryabkov stressed.

Moscow states that the United States is choosing an arms race by refusing to comply with restrictions under the START treaty.

If the United States changes its mind, the conditions for a strategic dialogue with Russia will be the rejection of encroachments on each other's interests and the resolution of fundamental contradictions.

"The appropriate conditions for launching interaction are the rejection of encroachments on each other's fundamental interests, readiness for comprehensive work to reduce the overall conflict potential on the basis of equality, mutual consideration of concerns and stopping fundamental contradictions," Sergei Ryabkov summed up.
