Ushakov noted the movement towards a meeting between the presidents of the Russian Federation and the United States

Russia and the United States are moving towards a meeting of the presidents of the two countries. This was announced on May 8 by Yuri Ushakov, assistant to the head of the Russian state, to Pavel Zarubin, a journalist.

"It seems to me that we are moving after all," he said, answering the relevant question.

In addition, he added that now both sides are "disappointed" with each other on certain issues. In his opinion, the American side still understands Russia's demands and takes into account some of the proposals.
