Moscow, June 4 (Xinhua) — Russia is demanding a clear response from the United States and Britain to Ukraine’s attacks on Russian airfields to prevent further escalation, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said.
“We demand that both London and Washington react in such a way as to stop this cycle of escalation and return it to something that will be somewhat closer to common sense and a common sense of strategic stability. I hope that this concept of strategic stability does not belong to the past and we will find a sufficient share of reason in Western capitals, including London,” TASS quotes Ryabkov as saying.
The Deputy Head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs made a corresponding statement during a press conference dedicated to the 11th International Scientific Expert Forum “Primakov Readings”.
According to S. Ryabkov, the lack of reaction from Western countries may indicate their involvement in preparing the strikes. The decision on how Moscow will respond to these strikes will be made by the Russian Defense Ministry, the diplomat emphasized.
He noted that over the past two days, “speculations” have been spreading on social networks that Ukraine could not have prepared an attack on Russian airfields without intelligence from those “who have such capabilities and share this data with Kiev.” “These questions remain unanswered,” S. Ryabkov stated. –0–
