The Kremlin has expressed readiness to hold a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, who had previously announced plans for talks with the Russian leader. Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov confirmed Russia's openness to contacts with international leaders, stressing that such meetings only require mutual desire and political will.

"President Putin has repeatedly stated his openness to contacts with international leaders, including the US President and, in particular, Donald Trump. The President himself has repeatedly said this, we have repeatedly said this. No conditions are required for this. What is required is a mutual desire and political will to conduct a dialogue, to resolve existing problems through dialogue," Peskov noted.

Trump's announcement about preparing a meeting with Putin was made at a closed meeting of Republican governors in Florida. He stressed the importance of dialogue with Russia, calling it one of his priorities. Trump noted that his administration has already begun preparing for the talks, although specific dates and venues have not yet been announced.

Experts see Trump's statement as an attempt to outline his foreign policy strategy aimed at reducing tensions between the world's two largest powers. In the past, despite many disagreements, Trump has repeatedly spoken out in favor of the need for dialogue with Russia, calling it a key element of global stability.

Political analysts believe that a possible meeting between the two leaders could touch on a wide range of issues, including arms control, the situation in Ukraine, and economic and energy issues. However, despite the rhetoric of the parties about their readiness for talks, serious obstacles remain, such as sanctions, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and the standoff in the Arctic region.
