Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stressed on Friday Russia's willingness to hold "comprehensive" security talks with the United States on the condition that these talks cover the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
"We are open to dialogue, but to a broad, comprehensive dialogue that covers all dimensions, including the dimension related to the conflict around Ukraine, the involvement of the United States in this conflict," Peskov said.
Separately, senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev posted on Telegram that discussions regarding a potential new agreement to restrict nuclear capabilities with the United States can only commence once the US ceases providing weapons to Ukraine and prevents its inclusion in the NATO alliance.
