Kremlin acknowledges Trump's claims of potential meeting with Putin
The Kremlin has acknowledged President-Elect Donald Trump's claims about a potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They see mutual interest in dialogue and believe progress will start after Trump's inauguration on January 20. Trump stated that Putin wants to meet to discuss ending the Ukraine-Russia war. The Kremlin welcomed this idea, emphasizing the need for political willingness to engage in talks. Ukrainian officials are concerned that U.S. aid may decline under Trump, which could affect their defense against Russia. The Biden administration continues to support Ukraine as it prepares for future negotiations.
