Russia (bbabo.net), - We need to hope for consultations on security guarantees and maintain restrained optimism, said Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the Russian President. A quick and specific solution is needed, he added.

"Of course, emotionally I want to react every time to all these megaphone information outbursts, but here you need to understand that when diplomats sit down at the negotiating table in a non-public manner, a completely different conversation begins there, more substantive, calmer, and often more balanced," noticed Peskov in the program "Moscow. Kremlin. Putin" on the TV channel "Russia 1". "Therefore, I would still maintain restrained optimism here and pin my hopes on the consultations that we expect," he added.

"Now it is important to be patient and sit down at the negotiating table in January. Then we will hear what our counterparts will say on these negotiations, and the situation will nevertheless become much clearer," said the presidential press secretary. It is necessary to concentrate on these negotiations, it will immediately become clear on them whether the Americans are ready to give a substantive answer or will still prefer to drag out the process and try to initiate a line of drawn-out long-term negotiations, he added.

But the delay will not suit Moscow. "The situation is such that a quick, concrete solution is needed that will meet our interests," Peskov emphasized.
