Araqchi Abbas travels this Sunday to Moscow. On Russia’s side, there are no plans for Putin to talk to Trump
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Araqchi Abbas, revealed this morning that he will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin already tomorrow in Moscow. Araqchi’s flight, which is in Istanbul, is scheduled for the capital of Russia for this Sunday.
“I’m going to Moscow this afternoon and I have a meeting with President Putin tomorrow morning. Russia is a friend of Iran,” he told reporters.
The Iranian ruler recalled that Iran has a strategic partnership with Russia. Russia and Iran have signed a “comprehensive partnership agreement” in January, consolidating the narrow strategic alliance, although the deal does not require the two countries to defend each other to each other to be attacked.
The meeting between the Israeli ruler and the Russian president takes place following the US attack against the three Iranian nuclear power plants, an action that Kremlin has already condemned and classifying as a “irresponsible decision.” And there are already several Russian voices to condemn American action and show support for Iran.
Dmitry Medvedev, vice president of the Russian Security Council, wrote on her channel on Telegram that Donald Trump “took over as a peacemaker, but started a new war for the US.”
“The irresponsible decision to subject the territory of a sovereign state to attacks with missiles and bombs, whatever the arguments presented, is a flagrant violation of international law, the United Nations Charter and the resolutions of the UN Security Council,” said the Russian Ministry in a statement, quoted by Reuters.
Kremlin has already been asking “the end of aggression and reinforcement of efforts to create conditions to return the situation to a political and diplomatic course”, but there is no plans for any conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, although Russia does not discard a call in the next days, as CNN advances.
