Russia Expresses Viewpoints Ahead of Third Diplomatic Dialogue with United States
Chatter between Russia and the US persists, according to TASS. "This dialogue occurs via diplomatic channels of both nations under the terms set by the agreements reached between President Putin and President Trump," he said.
Diving into the state of Russia-USA relations, a Kremlin spokesman pointed out the existence of numerous hurdles, making swift outcomes unlikely. Yet, he highlighted that intricate, multi-phase work is set in motion and will carry on. He noted Washington's role in resolving the dispute in Ukraine, which necessitates Russia-Ukraine contacts within a neutral nation.
Expectations are high for a third encounter between Russia and the US to tackle "hotspots" in their bilateral relations. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov disclosed that myriad topics — some challenging and others less so, though there are no easy issues with the US — will grab the spotlight. He refrained from specifying the meeting's exact date or location.
The first two rounds of discussions between Russia and the US to handle "hotspots" unfolded on February 27 and April 10 in Istanbul. Post the initial meeting, both parties agreed on common measures to normalize their diplomatic operations, such as ensuring funding for their functioning and devising viable conditions for diplomats to execute their tasks. The second discussion led to a pact to simplify the travel protocol for diplomats and to craft a "roadmap" for the recovery of Russia's occupied diplomatic possessions.
An arrangement for anmerged Russia-US relationships was settled at a meeting on February 18 in Riyadh. President Vladimir Putin praised the outcome, lauding the American side's readiness to join efforts "absent any prejudice or condemnation of past actions."
