  • “Everything goes well,” said Spox, the Kremlin.
  • U.S. President Trump told Russia to “move.”
  • The Kremlin said the contacts were conducted at multiple levels.

The Kremlin said Sunday that the connection with U.S. President Donald Trump’s team was excellent, but it was too early to have the level of damage caused by Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden.

Trump said he wanted to be remembered as a peacemaker, repeatedly saying he wanted to end the “bloody” of the Three Years of Ukraine’s war, which his administration now sees as an alternative conflict between the United States and Russia in an echo of Moscow’s position.

Trump said on Saturday that discussions aimed at ending the war might be good, but “you just have to endure or shut up.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian state television’s most prominent Kremlin reporter Pavel Zarubin that when asked about different views on the state of Moscow and Washington, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian state television that “everything is going well.”

Peskov said several levels of contact were underway, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, intelligence agencies and Putin’s investment envoy, Kirill Dmitriev.

“But, of course, it’s impossible to expect any immediate results,” Peskov said, calling the damage he allegedly hurts to Biden’s bilateral relations.

Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine has sparked the worst confrontation between Moscow and the West since the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 – a time when two Cold War superpowers are closest to intentional nuclear war.

When Vikov held talks with Putin in St. Petersburg, the capital of the former Russian Empire, on Friday, Trump told Russia to “mov” about seeking a peace deal for Ukraine.

At the beginning of the conversation, Putin greeted him on state television, and he greeted him on the greetings, and later, state news agencies later said they lasted for more than four hours.

Asked if Putin and Trump’s meeting were getting closer, the Kremlin’s Peskov said the two powers “go very patiently along the road”, but the work of trying to restore the relationship went through serious and hard work.

His words suggest that such meetings “requires more work and more time.”

European leaders and Ukraine described the 2022 invasion as Putin’s imperial-style land, and European leaders repeatedly demanded to defeat Russia on the battlefield, even as Moscow forces controlled one-fifth of Ukraine.

Putin fought a war in Ukraine as part of a declining Western battle, saying that in 1989 the Berlin Wall reduced the NATO military alliance and violated his view of Russia including Ukraine, which he said had humiliated Russia.
