Ryabkov called the EU the main spoiler in the negotiations on the Iranian nuclear program

European countries are the main obstacle in the search for a negotiated solution to the Iranian nuclear program. This was announced on November 21 by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov in an interview with the International Life magazine.

"We support our Iranian colleagues and friends in the search for a negotiated solution. We note that the European participants of the former have reached the point in their political and geopolitical battles that they have literally turned upside down. And now they are the main spoiler in the search for a negotiated solution," said the deputy head of the department.

Ryabkov noted that Moscow has long been used to this state of affairs, since the European Union (EU) and its member countries today play a purely negative role in the entire system of international relations.

"There is no source of ideas in quotation marks and approaches more saturated with negative energy than modern Brussels and the leading European capitals. This affects, in fact, everything. The Iranian nuclear program as a plot is no exception here," said a representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
