"We are in a plan of bilateral relations in such a deep crisis that even such an important visit as the visit of such a heavyweight minister as Lavrov is not able to reverse the trend," RIA Novosti quoted Peskov as saying in an interview with the Big Game on Channel One.
He noted that the Russian side is well aware of the fact that Lavrov was received by the American president.
According to him, the visit of the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry was a good opportunity to convey to Moscow the position of Moscow on “hot moments”.
Earlier, Sergei Lavrov, following a visit to Washington, said that American leader Donald Trump understands the benefits of good relations with Moscow.
On December 11, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, after a visit by the Russian delegation to Washington, said there were no shifts in the dialogue with the United States on strategic stability.
