Polyanski highlighted the contrasting positions of Russia and China, advocating for diplomacy, versus the European trio (UK, France, Germany) aligning with the U.S. in reinstating sanctions. He emphasized the need for peace over war and suggested that the proposal’s acceptance would reveal the true intentions of nations regarding diplomatic efforts with Iran.
