#Medvedev Lists Five Achievements of the Russia-US Meeting# The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federal Security Council, Medvedev, posted an article on a social platform today (August 16th), listing five achievements of the Russia-US meeting:
1. The highest-level meeting mechanism between Russia and the United States has been fully restored. The atmosphere of the meeting was peaceful, without ultimatum and threats.
2. The Russian president personally and extensively explained our conditions for ending the Ukraine conflict to the U.S. president.
3. After nearly three hours of consultation, the leader of the White House has abandoned the plan to increase pressure on Russia. At least for now.
4. The key point is that the meeting has proven that even during the special military operation, unconditional negotiations are still feasible.
5. The core achievement is that both sides have clarified that the responsibility for achieving results in the negotiations on cessation of military action lies with Ukraine and Europe. (Hao Wei, Central Station)
