For the new administration in the United States, the drainage of illegal migrants is more important than strategic stability, Sergei Ryabkov said.
There is still no agreement to conduct a telephone conversation between United States and Russian leaders Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Ryabkov said this on Monday, January 27th.
“But this (the conversation – ed.) Is not planned without agreement, no understanding of this,” he said.
Ryabkov admitted that contact with the new administration in the White House has not begun.
“Everything that happens in terms of communicating with Washington is carried out by embassies, as usual, if contacts mean direct access to members of the new US administration, then it is not The case, “the official added.
At the same time, Ryabkov has confirmed that Russia is “open to dialogue” in the United States regarding strategic stability, provided that Washington has changed its doctrine techniques.
“We have a willingness to engage in dialogue, with the understanding that we will see changes for better in American doctrine techniques, and most of all, in practical actions in Russia’s direction,” he said.
Ryabkov said the new administration in the United States has not responded in any way in Moscow’s signs, because for this it is more important “which aircraft can be used to deport illegal migrants, what tariffs should be introduced against the disobedient, and so on. ”
“This is likely to be more important for them than strategic stability,” Sergei Lavrov’s deputy Lavrov added.
Let us note that last week the media reported that the Trump team was preparing oil sanctions against Russia. At the same time, the US president confronted Putin with an ultimatum to end the war in Ukraine, otherwise the major sanctions against Russia would be imposed.
In this regard, Putin expressed a desire to meet Trump, but at the same time expressed doubt that new US penalties could harm Russia.
