Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready for negotiations with US President-elect Donald Trump without any preconditions, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Friday.
Peskov said no particular conditions are required for further negotiations, adding that both leaders must show a mutual desire and political will to resolve existing problems via dialogue.
He also said that Putin is willing to meet Trump in the future and planning for the meeting will start after Trump's inauguration.
"We are seeing that Trump has also expressed his readiness to solve problems through dialogue, and we welcome this," Peskov said.
He said that the Russian position on Ukraine, as articulated by Putin in July, remains clear and consistent. Moscow's position will not change in any possible negotiations between Putin and Trump, he added.
