Lavrov pointed out the inconsistency of the US actions with statements about cooperation with the Russian Federation.

Certain actions carried out by the American side are not very consistent with Washington's statements about possible economic cooperation with Moscow. This was announced on the morning of February 5 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

"A document on Cuba was recently adopted. And it said that a state of emergency was being declared in connection with the threat that Cuba poses to US interests in the Caribbean, including through Russia's hostile and malicious policies. Somehow, it doesn't really fit together about the bright future of our economic and investment cooperation," he said in an interview with RT.

The minister stressed that the United States prohibits other states from buying Russian oil and liquefied natural gas, forcing them to switch to their own.

In the progress of the dialogue: the Russian Federation and the United States remain committed to restoring the work of embassies

The suspension of the issuance of immigration visas to Russians does not affect this process.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, speaking to students of the State University of Management (GUU) on February 3, called the negotiations between the Russian Federation and the United States the most difficult work carried out in the most difficult conditions. She clarified that the international situation has imposed serious restrictions on the interaction of the two countries.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on January 25 that Russia and the United States were in working contact on irritants. He clarified that this dialogue aimed at normalizing interstate relations is not made public in order to ensure an appropriate environment.
