Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is going to Finland, where he will take part in the ministerial session of the Arctic Council. On the sidelines of that event, the Russian minister will meet with US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, ONA reports citing TASS.
The meeting of the Russian and US foreign ministers may overshadow the discussion of the Arctic challenges.
