According to CoinMeta, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova stated on the 5th in Moscow regarding Russia-U.S. and Russia-Japan relations that recent discussions on bilateral agendas through multilateral platforms have not led to any substantial progress; only after Japanese authorities abandon their anti-Russian stance is it possible to resume dialogue with Japan. As reported on the Russian Foreign Ministry's website on the 5th, Zakharova said in response to questions about the progress of normalizing Russia-U.S. relations that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Rubio recently exchanged views on bilateral agendas and related issues through multilateral platforms such as the United Nations and the G20. "As for any substantial progress that has been made, I think there is no such thing to speak of."
