Russian official says meeting with Shannon ‘without results to feel proud of’

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday he believes his meeting with Thomas Shannon, the US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs did not produce any results one could feel proud of, TASS reports.

"I must admit the expectations were highly overblown, too, but anyway I wouldn’t take pride in the results," he said. "By and large, there was nothing there that I could proudly about."

As for the problem of Russian diplomatic properties arrested by US authorities, "there are very few peeks in the American position on the issue," Ryabkov said.

"I’m convinced we should seek agreement until the last moment and use any opportunity to do it but unfortunately there are very few peeks in the American position on the diplomatic propertie and on other issues at this moment," he said.
