In an interview with Sputnik, Yermakov said Russia has never refused to dialogue, but real negotiation can only happen if both partners are willing.
The US must be prepared for a serious dialogue based on the principles of equality and respect for Russia's interests, and care not to cross any “red lines” of security.
