“We agreed with Secretary of State Anthony Blinken that when Russia sends its document and they get acquainted with our vision of the situation, he would be ready to meet.

We are both interested in this.

This is in line with our interests and plans.

I repeat, we are interested in explaining in detail to our American colleagues and all their NATO allies that we cannot be satisfied with promises,” Lavrov said.

Earlier, the head of the press service of the State Department, Ned Price, said that Blinken accepted the date of negotiations proposed by Lavrov at the end of next week.
