A general station reporter learned on August 21, local time, that Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said during an interview that Russia is open to dialogue with the US on the Ukraine issue, but will not make sacrifices in principle. Ryabkov pointed out that the US side has shown a will to engage in constructive dialogue and understand Russia's position. However, the more critical question now is “can Washington influence the decisions of the Kiev regime and its European funders, who still fantasize about causing Russia to suffer a strategic failure.”
