MOSCOW, May 14. /ITAR-TASS/. A dialogue involving all parties is needed for the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis, State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin said on Wednesday.

“I am deeply convinced that even though the crisis in Ukraine has already gone too far, and the escalation of the conflict and the crisis continues, there are still reserves, resources to stop the crisis, to reduce the conflict escalation,” Naryshkin told Rossiya 24 TV channel.

The way to achieve this is “through dialogue of all political forces in Ukraine. All Ukrainian regions must participate, presenting their proposals as to how the state can exist,” the speaker said.
