The political dialogue between Russia and the United States is at an unprecedented low level and is limited to the discussion of technical issues, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said in a report by ANI.

“Russian-American political dialogue is at an unprecedented low level. Trust is undermined, cooperation is collapsing even on issues of obvious mutual interest. Communication between the parties is limited today,” Antonov said on the air of the Bolshaya Igra (“Big Game”) show on Channel One, adding that the dialogue is “limited to the discussion of technical issues,” Sputnik reported.

The diplomat also said that the sides currently do not conduct a dialogue on the strategic stability and called the situation “wrong” as the “world expects concrete actions” from the US and Russia.

Antonov added that he is “unaware” of any unofficial dialogue between Moscow and Washington.

US State Secretary had reiterated his country’s position that the conflict could be over right away if Russia ends its military operation in Ukraine, but added “We don’t see any signs of that right now.”

Blinken underscored that the US will support Ukraine as long as the conflict lasts and ensure that the country has everything it needs to defend itself against Russia.

On February 24, Russia launched a “special military operation” in Ukraine after Donetsk and Luhansk reportedly requested help to defend them from alleged attacks by Ukrainian troops.

The Russian Defence Ministry said the operation is solely targeting Ukrainian military infrastructure and the civilian population is not in danger.

The United States, as well as nearly 40 Allies and partner countries, are working to expedite shipments of arms and equipment essential to Ukraine’s defence.
