Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that challenging process is currently underway to bring relations between Russia and the United States out of their deteriorated state.
"A dialogue is still a dialogue, but there is a complicated process currently underway of bringing our relations out of a rather deplorable state. The process itself is very complicated and time-consuming," Dmitry Peskov said.
On July 10, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held a meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Malaysia. The sides discussed the Ukraine settlement and reiterated the determination to restore Russian-U.S. cooperation in a number of areas.
