New Delhi: In the search for peace in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russian Ambassador to India, Denis Alipov, said that Russia is ready to discuss solutions together with the U.S. and Ukraine. Speaking at the India Today Conclave, Alipov noted that the current U.S. government is making positive moves compared to past administrations by wanting to end the conflict.
Alipov mentioned a recent meeting in Saudi Arabia, where U.S. officials showed a willingness to listen to Russia’s concerns. He expressed that while some leaders in Ukraine and Europe continue to demand Russia withdraw from Ukraine, they are also planning to strengthen Europe’s military presence.
“The situation is tricky,” he stated, adding, “Although we believe we are winning the war, we still want peace.” He feels that Ukraine and Europe are preventing a quick resolution.
Regarding Donald Trump’s recent announcement about wanting to end the conflict, Alipov said they would be open to meetings involving Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He claimed that while the U.S. sees Ukrainian President Zelenskyy as a rightful leader, Russia does not feel the same way. However, they are still open to discussions.
When questioned about India’s role, Alipov said, “We don’t expect anything from India.” He emphasized the strong friendship between India and Russia and said they’re hopeful for future cooperation. He also mentioned that Russia supports better relations between India and China and wants to help both nations achieve that.
Alipov summed it up by saying, “We look at situations in terms of cooperation, not conflict. We hope everyone can work together fairly.”
