Russian and Iranian Foreign Ministers Sergey Lavrov and Hossein Amir Abdollahian discussed the situation around the JCPOA and Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry informed.

The sides discussed the situation around the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program in the context of the ongoing negotiations in Vienna to restore its full implementation in the originally balanced configuration approved by the UN Security Council. The Ministers noted tangible progress on this important issue.

There was a detailed exchange of views on key international issues, including the unhealthy situation surrounding Ukraine in the West. Lavrov stressed that the propaganda campaign launched by the United States and its allies about "Russian aggression" against Ukraine pursued provocative goals, encouraging the authorities in Kyiv to make detrimental attempts to solve the "Donbas problem" by force.
