Ryabkov’s direct speech: “We cannot say anything today about the degree of negotiating ability of the incoming administration, but still: compared to the hopelessness in all aspects of the former owner of the White House (Joe Biden – ed.), today there is, albeit a small one, a window opportunities”.
Details: He added that now “it is important to understand what and who will have to deal with, how to better build relations with Washington, how to maximize opportunities, minimize risks.”
“Probably, we will observe the strengthening of intra-American misunderstandings and, probably, even clashes. How this situation will affect the contours of the foreign policy course of the United States is also a question that needs close attention,” said the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
He believes that the future period in Russian-American and international relations “will be associated not only with a significant number of challenges, but with an increased rate of change and a high degree of unpredictability and poor predictability.”
