The Kremlin has stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin is prepared to engage in dialogue with US President Donald Trump, but they are awaiting signals from the American side. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov mentioned that Putin is ready and everyone is prepared for a potential call, with the Kremlin waiting for signals from the US.
Trump expressed his desire to meet with Putin promptly, emphasizing the importance of addressing issues such as the conflict in Ukraine. He stated that Russia should be willing to negotiate and make a deal to end the conflict, indicating his eagerness to meet with Putin as soon as possible.
Peskov also highlighted Russia's readiness to engage in discussions with the US regarding nuclear disarmament. However, Russia insists on considering the nuclear arsenals of US allies, specifically the UK and France, as part of the negotiations.
While Trump's comments suggest a willingness to engage in dialogue with Putin, the timing and specifics of a potential meeting remain uncertain. Both sides seem open to the possibility of a meeting, but no concrete plans have been confirmed yet.
As the situation continues to develop, the international community will be closely monitoring any updates regarding a potential meeting between the Russian and US presidents.
