Russia Has No Explicit Answers from the U.S., Lavrov Said
Russia has received “no clear answers” from the United States to the better part of questions related to strategic safety, RF Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told the reporters.
The Foreign Ministry of Russia “is in talks with the U.S. colleagues,” prompting them to clarify the situation. “The meetings and briefings are being held, but we get no clear answers to most questions,” Lavrov specified.
The case in hand is the U.S. plans to station elements of the missile defense system in some countries of Eastern Europe. The response of Russia’s policymakers is predictably critical.
At the same time, Lavrov acknowledged “the U.S. flexibility and readiness to compromise in respect of the nuclear problems of Korea peninsula and to resume a new round of negotiations.” Moscow thinks “this approach will be maintained and mutual solutions will be found for remaining issues,” Lavrov said.
When commenting on results of negotiations with South Korean Foreign Minister Song Min-soon, Lavrov specified the need to bring momentum to Korea dialogue. Lavrov said they agreed to be as efficient as possible and hold meetings of working groups on nuclear problems of Korea and “to develop additional contacts within the dialogue for cooperating in Asia and for security in the ASEAN partners.”
