"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 emphasized that President Putin had set the main directives for the trip and would be thoroughly briefed on the meeting."
"The visit comes as US-brokered talks seeking a deal to end the war in Ukraine are in effect frozen. Several rounds of negotiations since US President Donald Trump returned to the White House last year have failed to break the deadlock, with the Kremlin ruling out compromises to halt its years-long offensive."
"Russia this week carried out one of the largest aerial attacks since the start of its war on Ukraine, launching 948 drones in 24 hours as it moved troops and equipment to the front line. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy issued a new appeal for allies to supply Kyiv with air defense munitions."
A delegation of Russian officials has arrived in the United States for meetings, marking the first such visit since the Ukraine war began. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expressed hope that these talks would contribute to reviving bilateral engagement. However, US-brokered negotiations to end the war are currently stalled, with the Kremlin refusing to compromise. Additionally, Russia is reportedly close to completing a drone shipment to Iran, which has raised concerns. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy has called for increased air defense support from allies amid ongoing aerial attacks from Russia.
