Putin Expresses Hope for Renewed US-Russia Dialogue Amid Western Resistance

Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed optimism about renewed contacts with the US administration, emphasizing a mutual interest in restoring interstate relations.

Speaking at a Federal Security Service meeting, Putin highlighted that the first engagements with Washington’s new leadership offer hope for addressing systemic global challenges. He praised the current US administration’s pragmatic approach, contrasting it with previous leadership’s ideological biases.
