Lavrov: US-Russia can Start Serious Talks on Secondary Points, Putin to Decide Next Steps

RUSSIA
  • LAVROV: NO POSITIVE REACTION TO MAIN POINT IN US RESPONSE: IFX
  • LAVROV: CAN START SERIOUS TALKS, BUT ON SECONDARY ISSUES
  • LAVROV: PUTIN TO DECIDE ON NEXT STEPS: INTERFAX
  • As expected, Russia not pleased about the core contents of its proposals being ignored, but positive that they're not stepping away from negotiations
  • how hard Russia pushes for the main points of discussion will be key to monitor, or whether concessions on missile inspections and military drills are enough of a win for Putin to take home and spin as a domestic victory and justification to pull back the troops from the border
