The West is preparing the ground for a new opportunity for negotiations with Russia on the issue of Ukraine within the framework of the UN Security Council sessions. This statement was made by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.
"Not only representatives of the world majority, that is, representatives of Kuwait, Bahrain, Iran, Hungary, but also the foreign minister of Switzerland met with Sergey Lavrov on his own initiative. Here is the answer to the question. they are certainly preparing the ground," Zakharova said on Sputnik radio station.
He added that the West accuses Russia of failing the negotiations, organizes its formats, but comes to the conclusion that it is a non-working method.
"Zelensky's "peace formula" will not make any progress. It is not a peace formula. Everything that supported it: conferences, summits, forums, all of them only reached a dead end," Zakharova emphasized.
Earlier, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, whose term of office expired on May 20, announced during a press conference that Russian representatives should participate in the second conference on the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict. According to him, preparations for holding a peaceful summit are expected to be completed in November.
Political analyst, leader of the "Democratic Alternative" Party Suren Surenyants made this statement at the Sputnik Armenia multimedia press center, commenting on the visit of American parliamentarians to Armenia.
On July 2, the US Congress delegation headed by Senator Roger Wicker visited Armenia. After the meeting in the National Assembly, the Speaker of the RA National Assembly and the US congressmen gave a briefing and warned about the danger of the "Russian bear".
According to Surenyants, it was expected that during the briefing in the parliament, the parties will talk about various aspects of cooperation between Yerevan and Washington.
"We saw that the American colleagues who arrived in Armenia emphasized on making anti-Russian statements from Yerevan and calling on Azerbaijan to take an anti-Russian line. There were also statements regarding Iran. This speaks of two things," Surenyants said.
According to him, the subjectivity of Armenia is so small that foreign partners show such contemptuous attitude.
The second thing is that the basis of the Western policy of the current authorities of Armenia is exclusively anti-Russian, no other agenda has been set.
"Ours have decided to receive dividends from Brussels and Washington at the expense of "anti-Russian sentiment". But in that case, not the country will receive the dividend, but the specific government. We do not have institutional relations with the West, we have a problem of pleasing the West at the expense of anti-Russianness. This can be devastating for Armenia," said Surenyants.
According to him, the authorities are constantly talking about European integration, 4 of their satellite parties want to initiate a referendum on EU membership, and the Armenia-EU 2017 referendum was held. only 40-45 percent of the agreement.
