Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to reinforce the dialogue with the US next year. Russia is open for comprehensive talks, stressed the Kremlin chief in his New Year wishes to US President Donald Trump. „Relations are an important factor in strategic stability and international security,“ a statement said today.
The relationship between Moscow and Washington has been bad for years. In addition to the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria, charges above all weigh on the mood that Russia interfered in the US election campaign. The 30-year-old treaty between Russia and the United States threatens to break the ban on nuclear medium-range weapons. Putin and Trump met for bilateral talks in Helsinki this summer. Further such meetings are not planned so far.
