MOSCOW, January 22. /TASS/. Moscow has still not received an official response from Washington to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s proposal to extend the New Strategic Offensive Arms Treaty (New START-3) for one year, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
The diplomat noted the improving situation in Iran, expressed bewilderment at the continued detention of sailors from the Marinera tanker, and drew attention to what she called chaos at the Davos forum.
TASS has compiled the key statements by the spokeswoman of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The Foreign Ministry is following Putin's instruction on Russia's accession to the Board of Peace: "The Foreign Ministry is fulfilling the instructions of the president, and it is being worked out."
On January 27, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will meet with the CIS ambassadors accredited in Russia at a traditional working breakfast.
