New agreements on arms control "will not emerge by waving a magic wand," Sergey Ryabkov stressed
MOSCOW, April 15. /TASS/. The United States must radically change its policy towards Russia to get Moscow to come back to the negotiating table on strategic stability, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told TASS.
"In order to get back to negotiating on strategic stability, we, the Russian Federation, must see fundamental shifts in US policy. So far, there are no signs that this tremendously destructive anti-Russian charge is being even slightly rethought. Accordingly, there is no reason to talk about resuming negotiations," the senior diplomat said.
New agreements on arms control "will not emerge by waving a magic wand," he stressed. "So, prospects on this track are very grim for now," Ryabkov summed up.
