“The matters that are being decided now are close to being agreed, literally there are only steps, and in some cases half-steps, some things have already been settled,” Lavrov says at a meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organisation (STO), a Moscow-backed security organization, in the Tajik capital Dushanbe.
