Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov says Moscow is ready to extend a helping hand to negotiations between Iran and the US, if necessary, but does not intend to impose its services, reports Al Jazeera.
“Russia is ready to provide all possible assistance in resolving this conflict, which is well known to its parties. At the same time, we have never imposed and do not intend to impose our services. But in the event of an appropriate request, we will extend a helping hand,” he said during an interview with the country’s TASS state news agency.
Ryabkov emphasised that Moscow has always been and remains “committed to finding solutions exclusively through political and diplomatic channels”.
He said Russia welcomes attempts by Washington and Tehran to resume the negotiation process and noted the “active role of the Pakistani side in stabilising the situation and creating conditions for moving towards a lasting peace”.
