Russia said that it was ready to return to negotiations with Ukraine. At the same time, Moscow threatened that it would put an end to the so-called "special operation" when necessary. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in a statement.

"We will put the point where we need it, not where some strategists, ideologues and military planners in Washington or other capitals imagine this situation," the Russian official said.

At the same time, the representative of the Foreign Ministry again accused the leadership of Ukraine, in particular President Volodymyr Zelensky, of unwillingness to negotiate.
