«The desire to establish direct communication is commendable . If we manage to return our relations to at least a semblance of normality, including the work of the ambassadors in Washington and Moscow, such a development would be a definite achievement,» the ministry said in answers to media questions prepared for press conference of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. Russia is not going to «flatter itself about the new, old president» Trump and has no illusions about him, the statement read. «During his first term, contrary to expectations, the process of destroying bilateral ties launched by [former US President Barack] Obama only continued, and in terms of the scale of anti-Russian sanctions imposed, Donald Trump surpassed his predecessors,» the ministry said. Relations between Russia and United States under Biden administration have been reduced to teetering on the verge of rupture, the ministry said, adding that Trump’s return to White House seriously changes the political landscape, but Moscow does not expect dramatic changes to take place.
