Ryabkov spoke about the interim results of the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States

Russia and the United States have resolved the most pressing issues in the bilateral dossier concerning visas and delegation exchanges. This was stated to Izvestia by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov at the Primakov Readings forum.

How can the dialogue between Moscow and Washington change the situation?

"There are interim results, they are not bad. We have removed the most acute, glaring problems in the bilateral dossier concerning visas and delegation exchanges. We have significantly normalized the financial services of our foreign institutions in both countries," Ryabkov said.

But this is the tip of the iceberg, the diplomat noted. Against the background of what happened during the years when former US President Joe Biden was in power, a significant step forward was made, but it is absolutely insufficient to say that the Russian Federation and the United States have really moved towards normalization of relations, Ryabkov stressed.

The Russian Federation and the United States held two rounds of talks on eliminating "irritants" in bilateral relations on February 27 and April 10 in Istanbul.
