MOSCOW, September 16 (RIA Novosti) – Moscow and Washington may discuss issues related to compliance with the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), but neither timeframe nor format of such talks have been agreed so far, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told RIA Novosti Tuesday.
Earlier this year, Washington accused Moscow of violating the treaty. Russian and US officials met in Moscow on September 11 to discuss the issue. Although the talks failed to produce any substantial result, the sides agreed to continue dialogue.
“It is possible that the dialogue on the issue will continue,” Ryabkov said. “However, at the moment we have no common understanding of when and where this dialogue may continue.”
