“Now there is naturally no active negotiation process with the United States. We have personal contacts on emerging issue, and not even on problematic issues, but problems,” said Maria Zakharova.

At the same time, she recalled that for six months Russia has been actively engaged in rocking the negotiation process with the United States on a number of tracks: cybersecurity, global security, and Ukraine.

The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the countries that send mercenaries and weapons to Ukraine create problems for themselves. “If such a decision [on providing weapons to Ukraine] is made, it is not only an issue for Slovakia, but also for other countries, they create problems for themselves. The same refers to the recruitment of mercenaries; this happens through Ukrainian embassies around the world,” said Maria Zakharova.

She drew attention to the fact that mercenaries with weapons in their hands will return back to these countries and citizens will begin to ask questions about the fate of their compatriots.
