Earlier, we talked about the need to restore our legal and economic cooperation, our cooperation in some hot-spots like Syria, Afghanistan, North Korea, this is also a big problem for everybody. On all these matters we need a dialogue,” Putin said, expressing hopes that such a “meeting will happen sooner or later, it will happen when the United States will be ready for that.”
The Russian President doesn’t have any preconditions in mind and is ready to meet when Trump is ready, since the matters US and Russia have to discuss are “way too important, both to our countries and to the whole world.”
“Strategic stability is a number one priority because it's directly related to non-proliferation of nuclear weapons,” Putin stated.
Russia’s president also discussed the Kerch Strait incident with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
“We presented step-by-step how the events unfolded,” Putin said, adding that facts indicate it was a deliberate “provocation.”
“How can you object to that if the log of the ship says clearly that these vessels were to penetrate our territorial waters in a secret way?”
