Lavrov Says Normalized Relations Needed for Full US-Russia Dialogue
Russia's foreign minister said restoring normal diplomatic relations is a prerequisite for comprehensive talks with Washington, according to state news agency TASS.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that normalizing relations between Moscow and Washington is necessary before a comprehensive dialogue between the two countries can begin, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Lavrov reportedly said that Moscow appreciates the policies of the Trump administration in this regard, according to TASS.
In contrast, Lavrov described European counterparts as "arrogant and not very rational," TASS reported, though further details on the specific context of these remarks were not provided in the available excerpt.
TASS did not specify the date, venue, or occasion of Lavrov's remarks in the material reviewed. Additional details on the substance of the proposed dialogue or specific steps toward normalization were not included in the source material.
