Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated on Monday that Moscow and Washington have not yet begun addressing the challenges in their relationship. Amid the promising signals from the new U.S. administration, Lavrov noted that it remains too early to draw final conclusions.
In a further update, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova confirmed that no talks between the two sides are expected in Saudi Arabia this week. Delegations from both sides recently met in Riyadh on February 18 and in Istanbul on February 27 to discuss a range of topics, including the Ukraine crisis and other bilateral issues.
This cautious approach leaves many wondering what next steps will be taken to resolve the existing problems. Stay tuned as this diplomatic journey unfolds – a reminder that sometimes, even in high-stakes discussions, progress takes time. 🤔
