Ushakov said about mutual disappointments in relations between the United States and Russia

Moscow and Washington are feeling disappointed in their relationship. This was announced on May 8 by Yuri Ushakov, assistant to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"Yes, we probably disappoint them somewhere. They disappoint us too, maybe even more than we disappoint them," Ushakov said during a conversation with Rossiya 1 journalist Pavel Zarubin.

He noted that the American side, although not fully, fulfills Russia's requirements. According to him, the administration of US President Donald Trump understands what goals Moscow is pursuing.

In addition, Ushakov added that the Russian Federation and the United States are nearing a bilateral meeting of the heads of state.
