Lavrov said that the diesel deal did not improve relations between Russia and the US. The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry complained that the conversation with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was short. At the same time, he added that problems in relations between Moscow and Washington have always existed and will not disappear. "If it is mutually beneficial, as in the case of the diesel deal, we will maintain such relations. But still, we need to come down to earth and not feed on illusions," Lavrov said. By the way, the traditional joint photo session of the foreign ministers of the G20 countries was canceled. Ministers of several countries refused to be photographed with Lavrov.
