Geneva. January 9th. INTERFAX - Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov called the meeting held in Geneva on Sunday difficult, but businesslike, ahead of the talks scheduled for January 10 with the United States on security guarantees.
"Amazing. The conversation was difficult, it cannot be easy. In principle, business. I think we won't waste time tomorrow," he told reporters in Geneva.
Answering the question whether there is optimism in connection with the upcoming negotiations, Ryabkov said: "I never lose my optimism, I am always guided by optimism."
