Russian Foreign Ministry: Kiev did not offer Moscow to meet at the UN General Assembly

Ukraine did not offer Russia to hold a meeting at the UN General Assembly, said Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Alimov. The UN General Assembly will be held in New York from 22 to 28 September.

“They did not come to us with such proposals,” the deputy foreign minister said in a conversation with RIA Novosti.

Russia at the high-level week of the UN General Assembly will be represented by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. His speech will take place on September 26. According to the Minister, the main topic of all his talks at the UN General Assembly will be Ukraine. Moscow is ready for both bilateral and trilateral consultations and is waiting for new proposals, but at the same time "it does not harbor big illusions," Lavrov added.
