Russia Says Ready For ‘New Ideas’ From US On Ending Ukraine War<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Kremlin has newly said it is ready for dialogue with Washington and open to ideas for ending the conflict in Ukraine, but still says it will not compromise on Russia’s core aims.<\/p>\n

A senior Russian diplomat has stressed that any future talks must align with President Vladimir Putin’s position. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated<\/a> in an interview published by national media on Friday that Russia is open to proposals that are in line with “realities on the ground<\/strong>.“<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Russian Federation is ready to listen to any reasonable proposals and ideas<\/strong> that are in line with the goals set by the Russian president and meet the \u2018realities on the ground\u2019,” Ryabkov said.<\/p>\n

“At this stage, it is more important to what extent Washington is able to influence the decisions of the Kyiv regime and its European sponsors, who still dream of a \u2018strategic defeat\u2019 of Russia<\/strong>,” he added.<\/p>\n

The remarks suggest that the Kremlin is responding positively and openly to recent overtures initiated by Washington<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated the need to put forward new ideas toward a settlement, and we are ready to listen to them if this constitutes the mentioned ‘efforts’ of the Americans,” Ryabkov continued<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We remain open to dialogue with Washington, but that does not mean that we will abandon our fundamental positions<\/strong>,” he added.<\/p>\n

Time is working against Ukraine and its Western backers in Europe, “something they will have to reckon with,” Ryabkov additionally pointed out.<\/p>\n

President Trump has this summer signaled that his outlook on Ukraine’s chances on the battlefield may have softened or changed of late<\/a>:<\/p>\n

By the time Trump and Zelensky met at a NATO summit in July, the American president said the Ukrainian leader had \u201cbeen very effective\u201d in the war<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019ve actually developed a good relationship,\u201d Trump added.<\/em><\/p>\n

But as Ukraine\u2019s strikes have intensified, so have Russia\u2019s \u2014 and Kyiv faces major challenges in defending against them because of shortages of American Patriot air defense missiles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Zelensky, for his part, has been explicit that the new long-range strikes are meant to force Moscow to the negotiating table under conditions that favor Kiev.<\/p>\n
