Peskov: The relations between Moscow and Washington are at their lowest level

MOSCOW – Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirmed that relations between Russia and the United States are currently at their lowest point in history and that it is impossible for them to decline further.

Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is still willing to engage in dialogue with the United States.

He added that it will be clear whether Washington’s stance on this changes in January 2025.

“President Putin has repeatedly said that he is open to a constructive dialogue based on justice, equality, and mutual respect for each other’s concerns. And President Putin remains committed to this position and has reiterated it multiple times,” he said.

“But today, the US administration holds a contrary position. Let’s wait and see what happens in January,” he noted.

According to the Kremlin spokesperson, the future of Russian-US relations, which are currently at their lowest point, rests with the US administration. “It is practically impossible to make relations between the United States and Russia any worse as they are already at their lowest point in history,” he stated, adding that it will depend on the next US administration how these relations progress.
