Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that he would like to invite his US counterpart, Joe Biden, to a live-broadcast meeting on Friday or Monday to discuss problems in bilateral relations and strategic stability.

"One more opportunity has been missed to find a way out of the deadlock in Russian-US relations created through the fault of Washington," the ministry said in a statement on Monday, Xinhua news agency reported.
