US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he doesn’t know anything about the proposal to resume direct flights between the United States and Russia mentioned by Russian officials earlier, APA reports citing TASS.
"I haven’t heard anything about direct flights. I don’t know who is going to fly because these people are sanctioned," he said, when asked to comment on Russian Direct Investment Fund CEO and special presidential envoy for economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev's comment that he had discussed direct flights with US special envoy Steven Witkoff as a confidence-building measure between the two countries.
