The talks which have been ongoing bore major implications regarding the Palestine issue, in addition to regional and international matters. The atmosphere was "friendly" and "frank", according to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Yesterday, Wednesday, quoting a high-ranking diplomatic source, Israeli media announced that the Russian Foreign Ministry will receive a delegation for Hamas. The delegation arrived in Moscow yesterday for the talks. 

By the end of last December, a delegation from the movement made a similar visit to Moscow and discussed a number of issues with Russian officials. 

Israeli media, quoting Al Mayadeen, addressed the current events and remarked that the wedge in Russian-Israeli relations is deepening, quoting "Israeli discontent" with Hamas' official visit to Moscow.

Yesterday, the Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, revealed that there were Israeli mercenaries fighting alongside the extremist neo-Nazi Azov brigade in Ukraine, adding that "Israel" will not be able to ignore this, especially when there are videos and materials backing this up.
