Antony Blinken and Sergey Lavrov spoke directly but quietly in their differences while holding talks in the corridors of the Arctic Council meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland, a town of deep history of relations between the United States and Russia.
We seek a stable and predictable relationship with Russia,” told Blinken Lavrov, congratulating the peace he received from US President Joe Biden, who proposed a summit with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in the coming month.
We believe that this is for the good of our people, for the good of the Russian people, and for the good of the whole world. ”
“Blinken added: “And it's not a secret that we have our differences and when it comes to those differences, as President Biden has expressed with President Putin, if Russia behaves aggressively towards us, our partners, our allies, we will respond. ”
The meeting took place shortly after the Biden administration had announced Congress on new sanctions against Russia in connection with the contracting pipeline with Europe.
“We have major differences in the assessment of international situations, we have serious differences in our efforts that need to be resolved for their normalisation. Uh-huh.
We remember that during yesterday, the United States had designated Mr. Sali Berisha and his close family as person by post made by exactly Mr. Blinken. /Periscope
