"Yes, the meeting will take place. The dates have not yet been determined, but there is a mutual understanding that such contact is necessary. This is a working-level track, there has been some progress, and it needs to be developed," he said.
Ryabkov also denied Western media reports that Russia and the US are discussing the resumption of Russian gas supplies to Europe.
"No, I cannot confirm that. Economic issues are present in our contacts, but they are not the main focus at this time. The key topics lie elsewhere. I don't rule out the discussion of any economic matters, but for now it's at the level of probing," the deputy minister added.
