MOSCOW, November 18. /TASS/. Russia has nothing to discuss with the United States about Ukraine, a senior Russian diplomat said on Friday.

"As for [the topic of] Ukraine, we have nothing to discuss with them [the Americans] there," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said. "Whenever we somehow touch upon the topic of Ukraine, all this [communication] boils down to sending mutual signals, but there can be no dialogue or, moreover, talks, since our views are polar opposites," he added.
