The West is seeking to protract the Russian-Ukrainian conflict so that it has more time to prepare for a broader war with Russia, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said as quoted by TASS.
"The authorities of corresponding [Western] countries and some bureaucrats in Brussels are beginning to understand that, let's say, they may not be able to build the capabilities needed to secure a decisive advantage over Russia by the deadline. Hence, they seek to drag out the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as long as possible," he said in a video address to the participants in an OSCE roundtable meeting on Europe’s militarization.
Ukraine, in his words, is "merely a pawn of the West, which has been under its control for many years."
