Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Russia will not initiate dialogue with individuals or groups who assert Russophobia or promote neo-Nazism, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Zakharova reportedly said that everyone who "comes to Russia with love, and perhaps even for love," is always welcomed with open arms, TASS reported.
The statement was attributed to Zakharova by TASS, though the agency's report did not specify the context, date, or venue in which the remarks were made, nor did it provide additional details on what actions or policies might stem from the position described.
