Patrushev, Bolton Should Try To Find Topics On Which US Is Ready For Dialogue - Kremlin

MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 23rd August, 2018) Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev and US National Security Adviser John Bolton should try to find topics, during their meeting, on which Washington has at least some willingness to engage in dialogue, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday.

Patrushev and Bolton will meet in Geneva on Thursday. They plan to discuss a number of urgent issues on the international agenda, as well as prospects for Russian-US security interaction.

"The expectation is that there will be an opportunity to once again discuss all the issues that are well known on our agenda, try to find the topics where there will be at least some willingness on the part of our colleagues to conduct a dialogue. For now, we observe a certain lack of such desire," Peskov told reporters.

He added that Moscow does not consider Bolton's trip to Kiev after meeting with Patrushev a priority issue, because there are many pressing problems on the agenda.
