Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said this in Ankara, where he is meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
The option of “pacification at once”, stopping hostilities along the line of contact and thinking over further steps will not suit Russia, Lavrov emphasized.
“We have informed our Turkish friends in detail about the Russian-American negotiations that took place on February 18 in Riyadh and which received a very positive assessment from the point of view of the opportunity to finally have a normal dialog despite numerous contradictions,” the minister added.
Full-fledged contacts between Russia and the U.S. on embassies will take place this week – they should remove obstacles in the work of diplomatic missions. The diplomat added that the USA will have to identify a special representative for dialog with Russia on Ukraine.
