[Russian Foreign Minister: Dialogue with the United States has yet to have any substantive effect] On September 17, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov stated at a social event that the dialogue with the United States has not brought any substantive effect to Russia so far, and it is not expected to have any substantive effect. On September 5 and 6, the US presidential envoy Witkov and Trump's son-in-law Kushner visited Russia and Ukraine successively with the so-called "peace plan" to mediate the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The presidents of Russia and the United States had a one-hour phone call on the 8th. The two sides gave positive comments to the results of the shuttle mediation by the US special envoy. However, according to Lavrov in an interview published earlier on the 8th, there has still been no progress in the two core sticking points that have been preventing Russia and Ukraine from completely ending the conflict.
