Russia responded to Rubio’s statement about the risk of the Ukrainian conflict spreading

Categorical statements about the risk of the spread of the Ukrainian conflict do not advance the process of resolving the crisis, noted Grigory Karasin, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs. This is how the senator responded to the corresponding statement by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a conversation with Lenta.ru.

“We pay too much attention to the media dimension of all statements that are made in Washington, now in Berlin, now in London, now in Kyiv, and so on. The following is important now: of course, concern about the conflict, the uncontrollability of the Kyiv regime and the behavior, relatively speaking, of the Baltic countries in terms of possessing nuclear weapons and so on - all this makes a difficult impression, but more important than the statement is that it is necessary to negotiate, it is necessary to look for solutions and on these decisions to achieve an end to this crisis,” Karasin noted.

Rubio previously said that the conflict in Ukraine could go beyond the country's borders if it escalates.
