Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on June 25 that while there were no plans to hold an urgent meeting between Abashidze and Karasin, Russia would be ready to consider holding it if Georgia put forward such a request.

As for an urgent meeting, we have not discussed this, there are no such plans. In principle, I do not rule out [that we could hold an urgent meeting] if it is necessary," Abashidze said.
