MOSCOW, December 22. /TASS/. The dialogue between Russia and the United States is moving forward, albeit slowly, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said.

"Slow progress is observed," he told journalists. "It is accompanied <…> by extremely harmful, malicious attempts by an influential group of states to torpedo these efforts, to derail the relevant diplomatic process."

"We call on the US administration to more actively oppose this," he stressed.
