Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov highlights a narrow chance to establish agreements with President Donald Trump's new administration. He compares this to the previous administration, emphasizing the need to understand dynamics with Washington to maximize opportunities and mitigate risks. Trump's stance on Ukraine sanctions adds complexity.

Amid global political shifts, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has commented on a limited opportunity to reach diplomatic agreements with U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, as reported by Interfax.

Expressing optimism compared to previous dealings, Ryabkov emphasized the need to evaluate the incoming administration's negotiating capacity to maximize opportunities and reduce potential risks in U.S.-Russia relations.
