Lavrov notes no material effect from the dialogue between Russia and the United States: no material effect from the restoration of relations between Russia and the United States

There is no material effect from Russia’s contacts with the United States and is not expected, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. According to him, Washington is engaged in “tariff diplomacy”: the US authorities impose them when “someone tries to hold their point of view.”.

Unlike Europe, the United States is “ready to talk.” “It is always, even when the positions are radically opposite, it is always important. We always talk to people who want to do it seriously. Moreover, no material effect from the point of view of restoring our relations has not happened and is not yet expected, Lavrov said at a congress of the International Russophile Movement.

The Minister assured that Moscow is always ready for dialogue. According to him, the presidents of Russia and the United States are in regular contact, including on Ukraine.

On September 5, US Presidential Special Envoy Steve Whitkoff and businessman Jared Kushner arrived in Moscow for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They discussed the settlement of the military conflict in Ukraine. On September 8, Mr. Putin held a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump. He promised his Russian counterpart “enormous benefits” in the end of the conflict.
