“There are areas that one way or another will still have to be discussed.
These are the areas of arms control, and disarmament areas, the topic of non-proliferation.
This is something that our two countries will have to discuss one way or another, but obviously not now, ”he said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Earlier, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said during a visit to Brussels that more than 45 countries have provided security assistance to Kyiv since February 24.
Austin also spoke out against the weakening of the supply of weapons to Kyiv, saying that "the stakes are too high."
Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasily Nebenzya declared the responsibility of Western countries supplying weapons to Kyiv for the deaths of civilians in the Donbass.
Earlier it was reported about 13 dead as a result of the shelling of the city of Stakhanov in the LPR by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
