The threat of a military clash is gradually disappearing along with the ending 2021, Konstantin Zatulin, first deputy head of the State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots, told RIA Novosti. The deputy gave the corresponding assessment, commenting on the talks between the presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden.
“I hope that there will be further news in January, I repeat, it is difficult to expect that everything we wish will come true, but, in any case, the threat of a military clash is definitely going away gradually along with this year,” Zatulin said.
The talks between the heads of state concerned key security issues. As the aide to the President of Russia Yuri Ushakov said, the parties agreed to continue the dialogue, and Biden seriously reacted to the point of view of the Russian leader.
Moscow, according to him, is aimed at a result that will ensure the guaranteed security of the country, which must be formalized legally. The heads of state intend to push the negotiations, which will be conducted by interdepartmental teams in Geneva. It is too early to predict the timing, but the conversation, according to Ushakov, may take place after January 10.
