The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Monday that the planned next round of Russia-U.S. consultations aimed at resolving ongoing diplomatic tensions was canceled at the initiative of the American side.
In a written statement, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, “The next meeting as part of Russia-U.S. consultations to normalize the activities of their respective diplomatic missions was canceled at the initiative of American negotiators.”
She added, “We hope that the pause they took will not be too long,” but did not elaborate on the reasons for the cancellation.
U.S. officials have not yet publicly confirmed or commented on the statement.
The consultations, intended to restore functionality to both countries' embassies and address broader diplomatic obstacles, were previously held in Istanbul on February 27 and April 10.
Russia’s Ambassador to the U.S., Alexander Darchiev, had told the state news agency TASS last week that a third round of talks was expected to take place soon in Moscow, though he emphasized that the decision to rotate venues between capitals was still preliminary.
