MOSCOW, April 10. /TASS/. It is impossible to hold dialogue on cybersecurity with the United States when it seeks to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, the Director of the Foreign Ministry’s International Information Security Department, Special Presidential Representative for International Cooperation in the Field of Information Security, Artur Lyukmanov, told reporters.

"What kind of dialogue could there be with the country that wants to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia? A dialogue about what? About this? Of course not, no dialogue on this issue is possible," he said in response to a question.

"The US objective in the ICT field is to inflict a defeat on us with non-kinetic capabilities, that is, using ICT. It is impossible to negotiate anything here," Lyukmanov added.
