At a press conference following the talks with the OSCE Chairman-in-Office - Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde - he noted that the situation has not improved since the February meeting.

The event is broadcast by RT.

“We recognize that the state of affairs is characterized by a deepening, to be honest, crisis of trust between the participating states and the predominance of confrontational logic over constructive dialogue and cooperation,” Lavrov said.

Lavrov and Linde discussed the activities of the OSCE, topical issues of Russian-Swedish bilateral relations, interaction in regional formats, as well as issues of resolving the internal Ukrainian crisis.
