The Russian Foreign Ministry reported on a telephone conversation between Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
Blinken called Lavrov – the TASS agency quotes the commentary of the department.
At present, the topics of conversation between the leaders of Russian and American diplomacy have not been named.
Recall that the last time Lavrov and Blinken met at the G20 summit in India. As Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova noted, there were no negotiations between the Russian minister and the US Secretary of State. According to her, Blinken “wanted once again to grab Lavrov either by the pocket or by the lapel” and say something. At the same time, the State Department tried to give a detailed assessment of this and turn it into some kind of messages to Russia. Also, the Russian Foreign Ministry called the statement of the State Department that Blinken allegedly spoke about Paul Whelan a lie.
