Russia satisfied with progress in dialogue with US: Kremlin

MOSCOW -- Russia is satisfied with advancing its dialogue with the United States, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

"Russia and the United States have established a constructive relationship through recent engagements, and we are due to advance along this path," Peskov said at a routine news briefing, expressing Moscow's satisfaction with "the practicability, constructiveness and effectiveness of these contacts."

He confirmed that during Monday's negotiations in Riyadh, capital of Saudi Arabia, the two sides agreed on a temporary no-strike list covering energy facilities in Russia and Ukraine, crediting sustained bilateral communication for this outcome.

Peskov also reaffirmed Russia's readiness to continue cooperation with Washington regarding the Black Sea Grain Initiative.

"All conditions (for the initiative) were met except for those concerning Russia ... and we will continue work with the United States (in the implementation of the initiative)," Peskov said.
