Kremlin officials described the discussion with the U.S. president as “very substantial”.

Russia and the U.S. have signaled interest in negotiating a new arms control deal—as Washington suggests including China in the discussions.

According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, both sides agreed to act responsibly and begin nuclear negotiations as soon as possible.

The video call took place as Russian, Ukrainian and U.S. negotiators met in Abu Dhabi for another round of talks on ending the war in Ukraine.

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that Kyiv is prepared to engage in peace talks with Russia—even directly with Vladimir Putin.

Concerns have been raised over the Board’s broadening scope and the possible involvement of Vladimir Putin.

Putin’s invitation comes after the Hungarian PM confirmed his participation in the White House initiative.

Potential discussions are expected to center on the most recent draft of U.S. peace proposals, designed to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.

Senior European figures are beginning to acknowledge that ending the war in Ukraine will ultimately require dialogue with Russia.

In his New Year’s speech, the Russian president said Russia believed it would win in Ukraine.
