Moscow-Sana
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that the Chief of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, discussed by phone international security issues with his American counterpart Mark Milley.
The ministry indicated in a statement today that a similar telephone conversation took place between the two parties last October, when they discussed a number of security concerns.
The phone conversation comes against the background of a meeting in Moscow that brought together Russian Defense Ministers Sergei Shoigu and his British counterpart Ben Wallace, a day after Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov received his British counterpart Elizabeth Truss in Moscow.
