Russia has expressed its willingness to engage in peace talks with the United States to help improve relations with Ukraine, provided that the U.S. takes the first step. Kremlin officials have indicated that they are open to negotiations regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, commonly referred to as a 'special military operation' by Russia.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized the importance of the U.S. initiating dialogue, citing the need to restore communication that was disrupted by Washington. He stated that if the signals from the new U.S. administration are serious, Russia will respond accordingly.
