Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan will hold talks in Moscow "in the nearest future," the TASS news agency reported on Monday, citing Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Turkey is trying to persuade Russia to return to a deal that allows for the export of grain via Ukraine's Black Sea ports.

"One of the leaders of this terrorist organization is being tried in The Hague," wrote Maria Zakharova, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson, in an op-ed for the "Rasiyskaya Gazeta."

The demonization of the Serbs as a "genocidal" people is unacceptable, said the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Maria Zakharova today, commenting on the 28th year since the crime in Srebrenica.

The National Anti-Terrorism Committee claims that the attack was carried out by Ukrainian drones.
"At 3:05 a.m., two Ukrainian drones attacked the Crimean bridge as a result of a terrorist act, part of the pavement on the bridge was damaged. Two adults were killed and one child was injured," the Committee said in a statement.

In the context of Ukraine's non-admission to NATO, the spokeswoman of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Maria Zakharova, also mentioned the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vui.
She told "Russia 24" TV Channel that the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, should not worry about Ukraine not being accepted into NATO, but because his country has fallen apart.

Otherwise, Bundestag deputy Ralf Stegner criticized the US decision to supply Kyiv with cluster munitions, stressing that their use could lead to the death of civilians.
Former Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Melnyk told Stegner and other German politicians who criticized the delivery of cluster munitions to Ukraine to "go to hell."

This was stated by the representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova.

Russia on Tuesday slammed as a Ukrainian "terrorist act" a drone attack in the Moscow region that disrupted the functioning of the Vnukovo international airport.
