Russia is waiting for signals from Washington to commence highly anticipated peace negotiations to end the war with Ukraine.

There has been no indication from Washington on potential contact between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump Kremlin Sp

The Kremlin says a settlement in Ukraine can't be facilitated by a drop in global oil prices as U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the issues for Russia in Ukraine were about national security, threats to Russians living there, and the refusal of the United States and Europe to listen to Russia's concerns.

One of President Donald Trump’s several broken campaign promises was highlighted by a question Thursday as he spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he refused to say if Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine would be over in a year.

Leading business and political figures attending the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, have discussed and debated topics such as technology, tariffs, climate change, Ukraine, Gaza and the global economy this week.

The Kremlin said Friday that President Vladimir Putin was ready to talk to US counterpart Donald Trump but was waiting for "signals" from Washington.

Speaking to the World Economic Forum, President Trump railed against the European Union, threatened to levy major tariffs on adversaries and allies, ruminated on global energy markets and spoke of his hopes to end the war in Ukraine.

The World Economic Forum, colloquially called "Davos" after the location at which it's hosted in the Swiss mountains, is a yearly meeting of elites.

We'd better meet and have a calm conversation on all issues of interest to both the US and Russia based on today's realities,” Putin said in a TV interview. View on euronews
