Russia Ready to Consider Iran as Mediator, Says Rudenko

Russia is prepared to consider Iran as a mediator in the Ukrainian settlement if such a proposal is made. This statement was made by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko during a session of the Valdai Club.

“So far, we have not received any specific signals from our Iranian friends, but if Iran shows interest in joining the mediatory efforts, which are currently being pursued by nearly several dozen countries, we are ready to consider it,” said the Deputy Minister.

It should be noted that Iranian authorities have repeatedly expressed their readiness to provide mediatory services for the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict.
