Russia has not stopped dialogue with the United States, including on nuclear issues.

According to APA's Moscow correspondent, this was said by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov.

Commenting on the contacts on nuclear issues on the air of the "Big Game" program broadcast on "First Channel", the Russian diplomat said that his country has not stopped the dialogue with the United States, including the dialogue on the nuclear issue.

Ryabkov said that Russia hopes to continue the dialogue with the United States on the "SNV" (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty).

"The Russian Federation continues the dialogue on the features of the SNV agreement, which is perhaps the only instrument preserved in this area to date, providing relative predictability and stability.

We will hope that common sense will prevail in this area, and the dialogue on this topic will continue.

We have contacts in various directions," said the Russian diplomat.
