Ryabkov spoke about efforts to resume dialogue on flights with the United States.

Russia is seeking to start a dialogue with the United States on the resumption of direct flights between the two countries. This was announced on June 7 by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov.

"To put it mildly, the Russian proposal to resume direct flights between our countries is still being viewed with disinterest, but we are not abandoning efforts to involve the American side in a substantive dialogue on this issue," Ryabkov said in an interview with TASS.

According to him, the timing of the next round of Russian-American consultations "on irritants" in bilateral relations is currently being discussed.

As indicated in the media, the potential lifting of US aviation sanctions is facing resistance from the European Union.
