According to TASS news agency, Russian Ambassador to the US Anatoly Antonov said in an interview with Bloomberg Television the results of the Geneva summit between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden should help stabilize the relations between both states.
He said, "It seems to me that the positive results of the American summit in Geneva give us a fresh opportunity to stabilize relations of the two nations."
