“We have great respect and attention to the initiatives and ideas that a number of BRICS members are putting forward in the context of the situation in Ukraine,” the diplomat said.
Ryabkov clarified that we are talking about the Brazilian initiative, proposals for a settlement from China, as well as the role of the Republic of South Africa in promoting peace in Ukraine.
Earlier, Presidential Assistant for International Affairs Yuri Ushakov said that Russia was and remains ready for dialogue with Ukraine, but there is no one there to talk to - Kyiv has forbidden itself to negotiate.
