“Ukraine is interested in the United States contacting Russia, otherwise the situation would be a dead end,” he said.

According to Ukrinform, according to the diplomat, the meeting can take place on the sidelines of an international event or in a bilateral format.

“In any case, for such a meeting to take place, it will be preceded by a long preparation,” said Kislitsa.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, commented on the preparations for a meeting between the leaders of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden.

She noted that this issue is within the competence of the presidential administration, but the Russian Foreign Ministry is undoubtedly doing its part of the work.

On April 13, the leaders of the United States and Russia held a telephone conversation.

During the talks, the current state of Russian-American relations was discussed.
