April 2, referenced by the Reference News website reported that according to RIA Novosti on April 1st, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov said in an interview on the same day that Russia would take the U.S. suggestions on the Ukraine issue seriously, but would not accept them wholesale.
The report quoted Ryabkov as saying, "We take the proposed American model and solutions very seriously, but we cannot accept them wholesale... Currently, efforts are being made to find a solution that can first achieve a ceasefire according to the American vision."
He pointed out that subsequently, it should transition to other models and mechanisms, but these solutions fail to reflect Russia's core demands, which is to address issues related to the root causes of the conflict.
Ryabkov emphasized: "This is completely missing and must be resolved."
He concluded by saying that Moscow has a comprehensive set of priorities and guidelines derived from in-depth and meticulous consideration, and these are constantly being refined and improved, including through the practices of the negotiation team during their recent talks in Riyadh (compiled/transliterated by Tong Shiqun).
