Negotiations between Russia and the United States led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov concluded in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The bilateral talks of the two delegations lasted around 4.5 hours, and according to the best assistant to the Russian leader Vladimir Putin Yuri Ushakov, the negotiations went well. “

“There was a very serious conversation on all the questions we wanted to raise,” Ushakov told journalists after the meeting, according to the Russian news agency Ria Novosti. The problems included the future of Ukraine, where Russia waged a large -scale war for three years.

According to Ushakov, the two parties agreed to take into account the interests of the other and to advance bilateral relations, and Moscow and Washington will endeavor to create conditions for a meeting of managers. However, a meeting between presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is unlikely to take place next week, because “intensive work” is necessary, according to the assistant.
