Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov has denied the possibility of any geopolitical deals or exchanges with the U.S. in the context of Ukrainian settlement and the solution of the Syrian crisis.

"We didn't discuss that in that context and I generally don't know how such exchanges can be carried out because Moscow, the Russian Federation has an absolutely clear, understandable to everyone and firm position on Ukraine and Syria. It's not an object of any exchange," Ryabkov said after meeting with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland on Monday.
