June 28 (Reuters) - White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan has been in touch with Moscow to discuss the respective Russian and U.S. embassies, and the two sides are in talks on the subject, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, in the text of an interview with Russian television published by Russia's foreign ministry, Lavrov hinted at some of these.
Despite the deep freeze in relations, there have been some signs that contact is being maintained.
Ambassador Lynne Tracy had spoken to Russian representatives and given "signals" that the United States was not involved in the weekend mutiny by Wagner mercenaries, and hoped that Russia's nuclear arsenal would be kept safe.
Lavrov also quoted Tracy as saying the mutiny was Russia's internal affair.
