U.S. and Russian diplomats are set to meet in Istanbul to discuss and address ongoing diplomatic challenges that have led to diminished embassy operations in both countries. Lavrov emphasized that the meeting, scheduled for Thursday, aims to tackle systemic problems stemming from mutual restrictions placed on embassies over recent years. This dialogue comes in the context of recent negotiations in Riyadh aimed at resolving issues affecting the war in Ukraine and restoring comprehensive diplomatic relations between the two nations, which have been severely strained.
Both the U.S. and Russian embassies are currently functioning at minimal capacity due to past expulsions and ongoing restrictions, requiring urgent diplomatic dialogue.
Mr. Lavrov noted that the forthcoming meeting will help clarify the diplomatic environment and assess the potential for resolving longstanding issues between the nations.
