Russian President Vladimir Putin assured on Sunday that he was “waiting” for the arrival of American negotiators to resume negotiations on Ukraine once Washington is less occupied by Iran.
“We are waiting, once all the events are over, the hot phase on the Iranian file is completed, the arrival of these representatives of the American administration whom we have already met in Moscow,” declared Vladimir Putin in an interview with a Russian journalist published by the Kremlin.
He was responding to a question on the state of Russian-American relations after the G7 in France during which the American president estimated that “Russia should conclude an agreement” with Ukraine to end the conflict.
