俄罗斯副外长安德烈·鲁登科周二表示，俄罗斯将欢迎韩国采取实际步骤恢复双边关系。
Russia would welcome practical steps by South Korea to restore bilateral relations, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko said Tuesday.
鲁登科在莫斯科的新闻发布会上说，俄罗斯并未将其与其他国家的关系与乌克兰冲突挂钩。
Speaking at a news briefing in Moscow, Rudenko said Russia did not link its relations with other countries to the conflict in Ukraine.
他说：“我们注意到韩国当局发表了一些表示希望实现关系正常化的声明，但同时他们又说，正常化只能在——用他们的话说——地缘政治局势发生变化之后进行，这意味着乌克兰冲突的结束。”
"We have noted certain statements by South Korean authorities expressing a desire to normalize relations, but at the same time they say that normalization can take place only after, as they put it, a change in the geopolitical situation, which means the end of the conflict in Ukraine," he said.
鲁登科表示，莫斯科并未主导导致与首尔关系恶化的局面，并将责任归咎于韩国决定加入对俄制裁。
Rudenko said Moscow had not initiated the deterioration in relations with Seoul, blaming South Korea's decision to join sanctions against Russia.
他说：“并非我们主导了与韩国关系的破裂。是首尔加入了针对俄罗斯联邦的制裁。”
"We were not the ones who initiated the breakdown in relations with South Korea. Seoul was the one that joined the sanctions imposed against the Russian Federation," he said.
韩国总统李在明此前表示，首尔认为与莫斯科的关系很重要，并将继续保持沟通。
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung earlier said Seoul considered relations with Moscow important and would continue maintaining communication.
鲁登科还表示，俄韩航空主管部门和企业正在讨论恢复两国直航的可能性。不过，他说现在谈论任何具体成果还为时过早。
Rudenko also said Russian and South Korean aviation authorities and companies were discussing the possibility of resuming direct flights between the two countries. However, he said it was too early to speak of any concrete results.
当被问及俄罗斯、中国和美国可能举行会议讨论乌克兰问题时，鲁登科表示，三国均表达了兴趣，但尚未进行实质性讨论。
Asked about a possible meeting involving Russia, China and the US to discuss Ukraine, Rudenko said all three countries had expressed interest, but no practical discussions have taken place.
针对美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥即将访问印度，鲁登科表示，莫斯科不会对该行程发表评论，并指出印度是一个奉行独立主权外交政策的国家。
Commenting on US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's upcoming visit to India, Rudenko said Moscow would not comment on the trip, noting that India was an independent country pursuing a sovereign foreign policy.
