In this video, the minister also answers journalists' questions about Russia's expectations for the outcome of the meeting and states:"We never try to pre-empt the outcome of negotiations. What we know, however, is that we have arguments to contribute to the discussion and that our position is clear. We will present it." Source: X MFA Russia profile
