Kremlin spokesperson says talks are part of ‘necessary dialogue’ with Washington as war in Ukraine continues for a fifth year.
A delegation of Russian officials has arrived in the United States for meetings with their American counterparts.
The visit, which began on Thursday, marks the first such trip since relations strained over Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, “We hope that these first tentative steps will, of course, make their contribution to the further revival of our bilateral engagement.”
He said President Vladimir Putin had set the “main directives” for the trip and would be “thoroughly briefed” on the meeting.
