Putin ready for talks with Trump

“Moscow congratulates Trump on taking office. Moscow is open for dialog with the new US administration on the Ukrainian conflict,” Putin said.

Putin emphasized that the goal should not be a brief truce, but a long-term peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all peoples who live in the region, Ukrainska Pravda reported.

“Russia proceeds from the fact that the dialog with the United States will be built on an equal and mutually respectful basis,” Putin said.
