According to him, the American elites came to the conclusion that it was possible to prevent the growth of Russia's role in the international arena as an independent factor and saw a historical chance in the current situation.
“Because if you don’t go head-on into a collision with Moscow now, it will probably be more difficult to do it later.
I think there is a certain historical mistake in this, a strategic miscalculation, because we will not bend under American pressure, ”RIA Novosti quotes Ryabkov.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry warned that any hostile actions of the American side directed against Russia would boomerang on the United States itself.
In addition, according to Ryabkov, there is nothing positive in relations between Russia and the United States, except for prisoner exchanges.
