BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – On March 14, an EU source told reporters that the bloc's foreign ministers had discussed during EU Foreign Affairs Council the preparations for a possible visit of Mogherini to the Russian capital, but the final decision was pending.
"That’s the issue we are working on," Chizhov told Russian journalist in Brussels. "As it is known, Russia and the European Union have agreed to make an inventory of our relations to identify the promising areas of cooperation and formats that meet the interests of both sides. This work is carried out in parallel by each of the parties. On the Russian side, it is nearing completion. We will see what kind of success our EU colleagues will achieve on this track."
Relations between Russia and the West have deteriorated amid the Ukrainian crisis. The European Union and the United States have been accusing Moscow of meddling in Ukraine’s internal affairs, although no factual evidence has been provided to back the claims that Russia has consistently denied.
