Russian minister urges Washington to quit escalating tensions

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, has urged Washington to stop escalating tensions if it wishes to normalize ties with Moscow.

According to Ryabkov, “They need to stop their escalation, both verbally and in terms of pumping the Kiev regime with weapons.”

The United States must also stop threatening Russia.

“In the meantime, we are seeing a downward trend in relations, who faults the United States for the state of ties.

“We regret this. However, this doesn’t have any effect on our determination to work towards achieving the goals of the special military operation and adapt to the circumstances resulting from U.S. sanctions,” he said.
