So Lavrov, during a press conference, commented on the agreements between Moscow and Washington, which were reached at the summit in Geneva.

It was broadcast live by RT.

“The return of ambassadors is primarily a symbolic gesture.

Important, but symbolic, although it also carries some meaningful load, since the presence of ambassadors, rather than their deputies, in capitals always allows a little more active conversations, given that ambassadors have powers from their presidents, ”he said.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, previously named the timing of Antonov's return to Washington. According to her, he will spend the next working week directly in the United States.
