MOSCOW. Feb 18 (Interfax) - The current development in the U.S.-Russia relationship is unique and a success, Russian presidential aide Yury Ushakov said in an interview with the 60 Minutes program on the Rossiya-1 (VGTRK) television channel after bilateral talks in Riyadh on Tuesday.
"Perhaps, it hasn't been worse than it was before Trump came into office," Ushakov said when asked if the relationship between Washington and Moscow has ever been worse than now.
"I also want to say that precisely this whole character of this discussion today, it is as if it bore an imprint of the two presidents' recent telephone conversation. And, of course, one could now say indeed there is a unique development, given the general situation: the presidents talked last week, after which, literally within days, fairly high-ranking people from Moscow and Washington meet and hold serious negotiations. That already is a kind of success," Ushakov said.
