Zakharova noted that "no one expected that some enchanting event would happen."
The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman explained that Nuland "does not have the authority to resolve all issues at once."
"At the same time, an inventory of problematic issues took place, without the solution of which, movement forward is, in principle, impossible," RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.
Zakharova also said that there are "some progress" on a number of issues.
Earlier it was reported that Nuland, after the completion of negotiations, left the administration of the President of Russia.
