The talks on guarantees of security and strategic stability between the delegations of Russia and the United States took place in Geneva on January 10. According to the official representative for the US State Department, the meeting between Russian and US officials lasted for about 7.5 hours.

Summing up the results of the talks, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Moscow was not confident whether Washington could fulfill the legally formalized agreements on security guarantees should the parties conclude an agreement. The negotiations were long and complicated, Ryabkov added.
