Ryabkov warned of a “big war in West Asia”.

According to Isna, “Sergei Ryabkov”, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, said in an interview with the TASS News agency: “We are closely and anxiously following the events in the Middle East. “The risk of a full-scale conflict is very high, and turning tensions into a full-scale war is a real risk.”

Ryabkov further stated that “self-restraint” is the solution to prevent war and said: “We are in dialogue with the countries of the region. “Once again, a major war can be avoided, but all sides must exercise restraint.”

In the continuation of this interview, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia said, “The United States adopts unbalanced approaches in the Middle East and destabilizes its situation.”

Since the beginning of the deadly bombings of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian nation on October 7, 2023, the United States has remained one of the biggest financial, political and weapons supporters of this regime, and on the surface calls for a ceasefire, but in practice, works to stop the violence and force Tel Aviv to It does not take place to end the war.

In the shadow of Washington’s blind support, the Zionist regime has extended its crimes to Lebanon and killed thousands of people. Lebanese authorities announced that at least 1,400 Lebanese, including civilians and medical personnel, have been martyred and 1.2 million people have been driven from their homes.

In this regard, Ryabkov added: “The United States has taken many measures to destabilize the Middle East in recent years and has destabilized the situation. Probably, this happened because America has completely focused on supporting its main ally in the region, which is Israel. But we see that such unbalanced approaches are useless.”

“Sergei Ryabkov” also said regarding the meeting of representatives of the five nuclear-armed countries: the actions and works of Russia, China, Great Britain, the United States and France in the form of “five nuclear-armed countries” have not stopped, and contacts are expected to be made at the working level.
