Request for time: the delegations of Russia and Ukraine postponed the date of negotiations

The United States may join the dialogue between Moscow and Kiev.

The day before, US President Donald Trump said that Washington had made it clear to Tehran that the country's nuclear weapons were unacceptable. At the same time, he stressed that Iran has little time to think about the issue.

Earlier, on May 11, Iranian President Masoud Peseshkian said that the country's complete abandonment of its nuclear program was impossible. In addition, he noted that it is planned to further develop Iran's peaceful nuclear industry and seek common ground during negotiations, which are needed, among other things, to show Tehran's desire for peace, not conflict.
