Lavrov said that Russia and the US need to have a frank dialogue on eliminating “irritants” in bilateral relations and push the diplomatic agencies of the two countries back to normal operation. At the same time, the US side should return Russian assets “actually confiscated” by the US. These are all prerequisites for “repairing bilateral relations” between Russia and the US. While discussing ways to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, Lavrov pointed out that the Ukrainian authorities are closely cooperating with its “European funders.” He reiterated that Russia will unswervingly advance the goals of special military action, and will also resolve the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on the basis of “eliminating the root causes of the conflict” through political and diplomatic channels. Furthermore, the two sides discussed a number of international and regional issues, covering the situation in the Middle East, Transcaucasia, Latin America and the Caribbean. Russia and the US also exchanged views on preparations for this year's G-20 meetings.
