Kremlin Signals Readiness for Putin-Trump Dialogue

In a recent statement, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov affirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is "absolutely open" to discussions with US President Donald Trump. This comes after Trump voiced his frustration with Putin's actions towards Ukraine, specifically targeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's credibility.

Putin's suggestion of a "provisional administration" in Ukraine as part of peace talks has stirred controversy. Meanwhile, Trump has threatened to impose significant economic sanctions on Russian oil exports unless a ceasefire agreement with Ukraine is reached within the next month.
