Lavrov denounces the lack of progress in relations between Moscow and Washington

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov asserted on Wednesday that "nothing is happening" in relations between the United States and Russia, despite talk of potential cooperation between the two powers. His remarks were reported by Reuters from an interview broadcast on RT India.

According to Sergey Lavrov, there is much talk of a possible improvement in bilateral relations, particularly in the areas of technology and energy, but without any concrete results at this stage. The Russian Foreign Minister believes that the exchanges remain largely symbolic.

These statements come amid persistent tensions between Russia and the United States, despite the resumption of political dialogue following the return of Donald Trump to the presidency in 2024. He has repeatedly stated his desire to end the war in Ukraine, without lasting diplomatic results so far.

Lavrov acknowledged, however, that Moscow appreciates the dialogue initiative launched by the current US administration, while emphasizing that these exchanges have not yet led to substantial progress. He compared the current situation to that observed under the administration of the previous US president. Joe Biden.

The Russian minister emphasized that, apart from regular diplomatic discussions between the two countries, no major developments have been observed. According to him, relations remain broadly consistent with previous policies, without any significant break.

Sergey Lavrov has held the position of Russian Foreign Minister since 2004, making him one of the longest-serving foreign ministers on the international stage. In the current context of the war in Ukraine and global geopolitical tensions, his remarks reflect the continued climate of mistrust between Moscow and Washington despite attempts at rapprochement.
