Russian envoy Zamir Kabulov stated that the current diplomatic format was not designed to resolve conflicts. This assertion characterizes the structure of the ongoing negotiations, though the specific intent of other parties involved in the format has not been independently verified.

Zamir Kabulov stated that Russia is prepared to help resolve the conflict, either unilaterally or in cooperation with other international partners.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia will continue its military operations in Ukraine, asserting that these actions are unaffected by foreign diplomatic decisions regarding their embassies in Kyiv.

Alexander Borodai stated that reversing previously established decisions could prove difficult, even if European nations undergo leadership changes and shift their foreign policy direction.
