Relationships with the USA on a good way – Diepresse.com

Despite ongoing contacts with the United States, according to Russian information, it is not to be expected with a view to bilateral relationships. There are contacts on several levels, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow on Sunday: « But of course it is impossible to expect immediate results. » US President Donald Trump aims to normalize relationships, but this ties in with progress in a peace solution for the Ukraine attacked by Russia.

The US specialist Steve Witkoff had talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday. Trump then warned in a hurry: the talks about the end of the war may have been going quite well. But there is a point where you either have to fit or keep your mouth.

The Russian leadership sees relationships with the United States on the right track, said the Kremlin spokesman. They developed very well. However, it is a very difficult task to revitalize the relationships from scratch that had suffered from President Joe Biden’s previous US government. This requires very intensive diplomatic and other efforts.

Trump-sent Witkoff spoke to Putin for four hours

Unlike his predecessor, Trump had searched the direct line to the Russian government, which is considered largely isolated in the West. European heads of state and government as well as Ukraine see the Russian invasion of February 2022 as an imperialist country acceptance in Russia. On state Russian television it could be seen how the US special envoy Witkoff put his hand on heart when he was meeting Putin. State news agencies later reported that the talks would have taken over four hours. When asked whether a meeting between Putin and Trump comes closer, Kreml spokesman Peskow said that the two powers would « take this path together and very patiently ». But the attempt to restore relationships requires serious and tedious work.
