“We have a shortage of dialogue, dialogue platforms and formats with the United States at different levels. In this situation, the presidential level is doubly important ... Contact of the first persons will certainly help stabilize the situation and direct the movement to the upward part of the trajectory, rather than degradation, ”Riabova quoted RIA Novosti.

It is noted that the Foreign Ministry has already begun preparations for the next possible meeting of country leaders in November in Paris.

Ryabkov added that there is the prospect of meetings not only on the margins of international events, but also on individual full-length visits.

He also noted that the topic of preserving the Treaty on the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles (INF) will be one of the main issues at the meeting between Putin and Trump.
