MOSCOW
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Wednesday that Russia endorses “any U.S. presidential candidate” who seeks to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
She expressed appreciation for those advocating for conflict resolution and those promoting peaceful solutions.
“We thank all individuals—be they officials, civil society representatives, or politicians—who advocate for a peaceful, political, and diplomatic resolution to the situation in Ukraine,” Zakharova said during a news conference in Moscow, responding to a question from Anadolu. “This has always been Russia’s position during various crises throughout history.”
She also referred to comments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin at a news conference on October 24, emphasizing the need to prioritize tangible actions over election rhetoric.
Zakharova reiterated her gratitude to those who speak about peace and promote these ideals in public discussions, noting that this commitment to peace represents a form of normalcy that many in the West have regrettably abandoned.
