Ambassador Antonov called the format of communication between Blinken and Lavrov through representatives abnormal

It is reported by TASS with reference to Channel One.

According to the Russian ambassador, it is necessary to talk about serious things directly.

“The United States considers it normal when some messages from Blinken are transmitted to Sergey Viktorovich Lavrov through Shukri or through some other representatives.

What, he can’t pick up the phone, just call our minister?”

Antonov said.

He also noted that Washington is not yet ready for an equal and mutually respectful conversation with Moscow.

Earlier, Sergei Lavrov said that he received a message from Anthony Blinken through the head of the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.

Also, Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov said that in order to move forward with the New START, the United States must abandon its anti-Russian policy.
