MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th August, 2018) The United States is maintaining contacts with Russia on a range of issues, from Syria to arms control, a State Department official told Sputnik.
"This administration has been clear that the door to dialogue is open.
We maintain channels of communications with Russia on Ukraine, Syria, arms control, strategic stability, and many other bilateral matter," the official said.
Ties between Russia and Ukraine soured after a crisis in Ukraine in 2014 prompted a referendum in its Russia-majority region of Crimea to reunite with Russia. The vote led to sanctions on Russia, which responded with a ban on certain imports.
