It was the first known high-level, face-to-face US-Russian contact since Russia invaded Ukraine in February.&He is not conducting negotiations of any kind.

He is not discussing settlement of the war in Ukraine,& the spokesperson said.&He is conveying a message on the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons by Russia, and the risks of escalation to strategic stability … He will also raise the cases of unjustly detained US citizens.&Burns is a former US ambassador to Russia who was sent to Moscow in late 2021 by President Joe Biden to caution Putin about the troop build-up around Ukraine, Reuters reported.&We briefed Ukraine in advance on his trip.

We firmly stick to our fundamental principle: nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,& the spokesperson said.Putin has repeatedly said Russia will defend its territory with all available means, including nuclear weapons, if attacked.

He says the West has engaged in nuclear blackmail against Russia.The US-Russian contact in Turkey was first reported by Russia&s Kommersant newspaper.

The SVR did not respond to a request for comment.Beyond the war, Russia and the United States have a host of outstanding issues to discuss, ranging from the extension of a nuclear arms reduction treaty and a Black Sea grain deal to a possible prisoner swap and the Syrian civil war.The post CIA boss talks nuclear weapons and prisoners with Putin&s spy chief first appeared on Ariana News.
