The Russian Embassy in the United States posted the text of Antonov's statement on his Facebook page.

“As for the situation in Ukraine, this issue was not on the agenda of Russian-American talks in Geneva, but was only mentioned as a secondary topic at consultations with NATO in Brussels,” the Russian diplomat said.

Antonov also said that Russia will decide whether it is advisable to continue working with the United States when it receives answers to its proposals for security guarantees.
