[Russian Deputy Foreign Minister: There Are Currently No Preconditions for Strategic Stability Dialogue with the U.S.] According to a report by Jinse Finance, on May 27, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov stated that there are currently no preconditions for engaging in a strategic stability dialogue with the United States. Ryabkov said: 'The current global situation does not meet the preconditions for dialogue on strategic stability and future arms control issues.
