Russia awaits appropriate signals from US on contacts, senior diplomat says

Russian envoy to the United Nations, in remarks published on Sunday, said Russia was waiting for "appropriate signals" from Washington on contacts with Moscow, but he had few expectations for better ties with Washington's delegation at the U.N. Vasily Nebenzya's comments, in an interview with Russia's state-run news agency RIA, were issued before U.S. President Donald Trump said he believed the U.S. was making progress in talks with Russia over the war in Ukraine.
