Any US military presence in Central Asia is unacceptable for Russia. This was announced by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov after talks with US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland.
Special attention at the meeting, which took place in Moscow, was paid to the situation in Afghanistan. The main responsibility, as Sergey Ryabkov emphasized, rests with the United States and its allies.
Strategic stability was also discussed at the talks. The positions of the parties, as noted in the Russian Foreign Ministry, do not fit well together, but the conversation was substantive and businesslike. There was no press conference following the meeting. Nuland limited herself to just one phrase: "I am glad to return to Russia again, working on our bilateral relations."
