Thursday's meeting, lasting for more than five hours, was the first such talks since the summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump in Helsinki last month.

While describing the meeting with his U.S. counterpart as "constructive", Patrushev said that he had invited U.S. officials to Moscow or any other Russian city for a new round of talks, but no agreement had been reached on the timing for further talks.

"An agreement has been reached that those channels that were suspended -- between the defense ministries, the defense ministers, chiefs of general staff and other working groups -- will resume work. Contacts between the foreign ministries will resume as well," Patrushev was cited as saying by Russian media after the meeting.
