St. Petersburg, June 19 /Xinhua/ — The main thing at the moment is to prevent an escalation of violence, achieve a ceasefire and prevent possible strikes on nuclear facilities. Moscow is making political and diplomatic efforts to facilitate the settlement of the Iran-Israel conflict, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
“Russia calls on the Israeli leadership to immediately stop raids on nuclear installations and sites that are under safeguards and are the objects of IAEA verification activities, and is particularly concerned about the safety of the Bushehr nuclear power plant, in whose work Russian specialists are involved,” M. Zakharova said during a briefing on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
“Today, the main thing is to prevent the spiral of violence from further unwinding, to achieve a ceasefire, to restore peace, which in turn will create the preconditions for returning the situation to the negotiating track. We are ready to contribute to this in every possible way and are making political and diplomatic efforts in this direction,” she added. –0–
