Sputnik - Tatyana Kalmykova — Dmitry Feoktistov said Monday, "the US agencies responsible for combating terrorism, primarily the State Department's Bureau of Counterterrorism, the US Treasury which deals with countering the financing of terrorism, other departments have not yet fully formed teams."
"Therefore, the US is not yet ready to actively discuss with us the most acute and pressing issues in the fight against terrorism, either on this platform or, as we see, on other platforms," Feoktistov said.
The Russian diplomat stressed that Moscow is patiently expecting the US administration to "at some point receive these instructions, people will assume their posts, and then we will try to resume full dialogue."
"I repeat that we are open to such contacts," Feoktistov said.
