"On our initiative, an online summit was held in January 2022, when the Gorbachev-Reagan formula that there can be no winner in a nuclear war and it should never be unleashed was transferred to a five-party format. The entire nuclear 'five' repeated this formula. We are not against continuing to work in this format. By the way, it has never stopped," Lavrov said in an interview with the Channel One broadcaster.
The United States proposes to expand the P5 group and involve China in the talks, but this is Beijing's business and Russia will respect China's choice, the minister added.
