S. Ryabkov, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister
On the whole, the year was very colorful.
In 2013, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov pronounced their opinions on the topic of Russian-American relations. It is worth adding that, unfortunately, some of our American partners failed to get rid of some of the stereotypes they associate with Russia. Because of this, they do not always correctly understand what is expedient when dealing with Russia.
Keywords: Iran's nuclear program, Syrian chemical weapons, the START Treaty, Russian- American relations, Afghanistan, missile defense.
