“I think that the Russia-NATO Council has not resumed, it was rather an exception,” RIA Novosti quoted Chizhov as saying.

In his opinion, the volume of interaction with NATO has gradually decreased due to the lack of a positive agenda.

"What to talk about?

Meeting for the sake of seeing you?

It probably didn't make sense.

And we don’t need to meet to hear something about Ukraine, for this we don’t need the Russia-NATO Council,” Chizhov explained.

Earlier, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced the need for Russia and NATO to continue negotiations on the normalization of relations.

In turn, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia needs the reaction of the United States and NATO to each article of the draft documents he proposed on security guarantees.
