According to him, Russia and the United States will have to determine the dates for the first meeting on strategic stability.

“But by all indications, this is a matter of weeks, not months,” Ryabkov said.

He noted that Russia is pleased with the fact that "it was possible to put on paper the intention to start a focused and energetic dialogue in this area."

“We hope to formulate the specifics of how, in what format and on what topics it will go, together with our American colleagues,” said the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia.

Ryabkov also said that matching the approaches of Russia and the United States in this area would be "a difficult task."

“A challenge for higher diplomatic mathematics.

But we are ready to solve it, ”he said.

Earlier, the Kremlin issued a joint statement by Russian and American leaders Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, according to which Russia and the United States will soon launch a comprehensive bilateral dialogue on strategic stability.
