Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated US President Donald Trump on his inauguration during a Security Council meeting.
"We are now seeing statements from the newly elected US president and members of his team about their desire to restore direct contacts with Russia, which were interrupted, through no fault of ours, by the outgoing administration. We also hear his remarks about the need. Of course, we welcome this position and congratulate the president-elect of the United States on his inauguration ," Trump said.
Among other things, Putin said that Russia is open to communication with the next US administration regarding the Ukrainian conflict and sees eliminating the root causes of the crisis as a priority.
" We are also open to dialogue with the new US administration on the Ukrainian conflict. The most important thing there is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, which we have talked about many times. This is the most essential thing ," he said.
According to Putin, Moscow has taken into account the statements of Trump and his team about the desire to restore communication and the need to make every effort to avoid World War III.
Trump repeatedly said during his campaign that, if he won the election, he would resolve the Ukrainian conflict within 24 hours. The incoming president reiterated a few hours ago that he would end the conflict in Ukraine, stop the chaos in the Middle East and prevent World War III.
