Renewal of Regular Russia-US Military Contacts Impossible Under Obama

The restoration of regular military contacts between Russia and the United States is impossible under the administration of US President Barack Obama, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said Monday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Russian diplomat said it was too early to evaluate the possibility of reviving full-fledged military contacts after the election of Donald Trump.

"When it comes to restoring full military contacts, aborted a long time ago by the Obama administration, this issue seems to have no solution under the current administration, it stubbornly holds its ground," Ryabkov told reporters.
