Russia, the United States and Ukraine are discussing issues of collective security and guarantees for the region. They should enter into force after full settlement of the dispute. This is what Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.
"Issues of ensuring collective security in this region will be discussed within the framework of guarantees that will come into effect after achieving a full comprehensive settlement," said the minister.
At this moment, negotiations have already begun.
Lavrov also noted that Moscow has no illusions about the Donald Trump administration, but expects to continue the dialogue with Washington.
"We really hope that the United States government will have the determination to continue this dialogue with an eye toward achieving a fair balance of interests, when no one's security will be harmed," the foreign minister emphasized.
