Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s top envoy to the talks, also took to Twitter on Thursday to make similar announcement.

The #VennaTalks will resume on December 27. Usually It isn’t popular to engage in serious business b/w the Catholic Christmas and the New Year. In this particular case this is an indication that all negotiators don’t want to waist time and aim at speediest restoration of #JCPOA.
