Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on June 9 that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio were in constant contact, as both states were interested in this.

"The foreign ministers are in constant contact. They have already held seven telephone conversations, and had a face-to—face conversation in February in Riyadh," Ryabkov said in an interview with TASS.

The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister said that during telephone conversations, the diplomats of the two countries are looking for ways to resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Ryabkov also noted that the next face-to-face meeting between Lavrov and Rubio will be determined by a joint decision of the presidents of Russia and the United States.

Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), said on June 8 that the dialogue between Russian President Vladimir Putin and American leader Donald Trump had led to a shift in public opinion, and the contact had become an excellent opportunity for de-escalation. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on June 6 that it was important for Russia to maintain ties with the United States.
