The State Department does not comment on the data on the preparation of a face-to-face meeting between Russia and the United States on START

It is reported by TASS.

"I don't have any update that I can provide," State Department deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said at a briefing.

As Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said earlier, the Russian and American sides are discussing holding a face-to-face meeting of an advisory commission on a treaty on the reduction and limitation of strategic offensive arms.
