The delegations left the venue of the talks without commenting to the press.

Russia and the United States held talks in Istanbul , which lasted six and a half hours, Russian media reported. This was the second meeting of the parties in recent weeks.

It is noted that the negotiations were devoted to the problems of the work of the embassies of the two countries. The delegations left the venue of the negotiations without comments for the press.

It is not known who exactly participated in these negotiations. Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that “high-level diplomats” and “experts” would participate.

Let us recall that the day before, the Reuters agency, citing a representative of the US State Department, reported that the issue of the war that Russia is waging against Ukraine would not be on the agenda during the second meeting of the delegations .

“To be clear, no political or security issues are on the agenda. Ukraine is not a topic for discussion,” the spokesman said in an email.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia is pleased with the results of the first contacts with the new US administration , which has abandoned the “so-called rules” in international politics.
