Finland offers to host Lavrov-Blinken meeting next week - Russian ambassador in London

MOSCOW. Feb 18 (Interfax) - Finland has offered itself as a venue for a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and U.S. Foreign Secretary Antony Blinken next week, and Geneva is also an option, Russian Ambassador in London Andrei Kelin said on Friday.

"New dates of a meeting with Blinken somewhere in Europe are being considered. I do not know yet where it may happen, yet I know that the Finns have offered their services. Perhaps, Geneva will be a suitable venue for this meeting," Kelin said on the Rossiya 24 television channel (VGTRK).
