While discussing Russian-American and Russian-Japanese relations in Moscow on the 5th, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zakharova said that Russia and the US have recently discussed bilateral agendas through multilateral platforms, but no substantial progress has been made; it is only possible to resume dialogue with Japan after the Japanese authorities abandon the anti-Russian line. According to information published on the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 5th, Zakharova said in response to questions about progress in the normalization of Russian-US relations that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and US Secretary of State Rubio recently exchanged views on issues related to the bilateral agenda and bilateral interaction through multilateral platforms such as the United Nations and the G20. “As to what real progress has been made, I don't think it's possible to talk about it.” Zakharova said that Russia and the US have made no progress on issues such as returning Russian diplomatic property confiscated by the US side and resuming direct flights. At the same time, she said, “The ongoing dialogue with the US at all levels is generally pragmatic.”
