According to him, the US side is not ready to discuss resuming air traffic until an agreement is reached on the Ukraine issue.
He spoke about this in an interview with the 60 Minutes program on the Russia 1 TV channel.
Previously, on December 24, Director of the North Atlantic Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Alexander Gusarov noted that the need to resume direct flights between Russia and the US is long overdue.
According to the Russian Ambassador to the United States, Alexander Darchiev, the US State Department refuses to consider the issue of resuming direct flights and returning diplomatic real estate, linking this with the situation in Ukraine on favorable terms.
Let us recall that the leaders of Britain, France and Germany discussed Ukraine. Trump said Zelensky's proposal was not important without his consent.
