Top Russian lawmaker offers reset to US Congress
Such steps are only possible if Washington shows a desire to cooperate, Leonid Slutsky has said
The Russian State Duma is ready to reboot ties with the US Congress and establish a more effective framework for parliamentary diplomacy, senior MP Leonid Slutsky has said.
His comments came shortly after Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the United States.
”In recent years, relations between the two largest nuclear powers, Russia and the US, have nearly sunk to zero, but today we see potential grounds for the situation to be revised,”Slutsky, who heads the Duma Committee on International Affairs and leads the LDPR party, said during a State Duma plenary session.
”We are ready for a reset,” he added, while floating the possibility of re-launching the 'Duma-Congress' format or adopting a more effective framework.
The lawmaker acknowledged, however, that such steps will only be possible with some positive moves from the US side.
”We understand that there is no magic switch that would allow us to reset the global situation,”Slutsky stressed.
Earlier this week,Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow is open to contacts with Washington, and that the new US administration’s policieswill largely determine the world order. The diplomat added that it remains unclear whether Trump’s pledges will be fulfilled.
The new US leader has repeatedly pledged to put an end to geo-political conflicts, accusing his predecessor Joe Biden of pushing the world to the brink of World War III.
Speaking with journalists in the Oval Office shortly after his inauguration, Trump said he still had “half a day” to find a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict. The quip came after he was reminded of his campaign promise to end the fighting within 24 hours of returning to the White House.
Trump has also pledged to meet with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin “as quickly as possible” to find a diplomatic settlement to the Ukraine crisis. The Russian president has welcomed Trump’s intention to resume dialogue between Moscow and Washington, andcongratulated him on his inauguration.

This was fast, and good news to repair what Joe intentionally broke. Joe hasn't spoken with Putin in late 2021.

Trump team preparing early talks with Putin – CNN
The incoming US administration is seeking to arrange a face-to-face meeting with the Russian president to end the Ukraine conflict, the report says
Donald Trump’s team is preparing a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which could come shortly after the president-elect’s inauguration, CNN reported on Sunday,citing sources.
According to people familiar with the matter interviewed by the network, the primary aim of the call would beto discuss a possible face-to-face meeting in the coming months, to explore ways to resolve the Ukraine conflict.
Officials within Trump’s national security team reportedly began planning the call several weeks ago, CNN reported, adding that it remains unclear whether a date for the conversation has been finalized. The network noted thatthe phone call would be a significant shift from President Joe Biden’s approach, who has not spoken directly with Putin for nearly three years.
Earlier this month, Trump confirmed his intention to speak with Putin, stating that the Russian leader “wants to meet, and we are setting it up.”The president-elect, who has been critical of US aid to Kiev, has repeatedly vowed to swiftly end the Ukraine conflict.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said thatPutin is open to negotiations with the US president without any preconditions. However, he stressed that there have been no substantial preparations for talks, while suggesting waiting until Trump is sworn in.
Commenting on the potential Ukraine talks, Putin foreign policy aide Yury Ushakov suggested thatthe incoming US president would be the one to initiate a dialogue. “We are calmly waiting for Trump’s team to take over. After that, let’s see what happens,” he said.
In recent weeks, US media outlets have reported that Trump’s team is mulling a peace plan for Ukraine which could include a ceasefire along the current front lines and the creation of an 1,300-km (800-mile) demilitarized zone patrolled by European troops. Additionally, Ukraine would agree to delay its aspirations for NATO membership for at least 20 years.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has criticized parts of the reported plan, saying Moscow “is of course not satisfied” with the proposals to postpone Ukraine’s NATO ambitions and deploy a Western peacekeeping contingent to Ukraine.
Moscow has also rejected a freezing of the conflict,insisting that it must achieve all of the goals of its military operation, including permanent Ukrainian neutrality, demilitarization, and denazification. Russia has also signaled that it would immediately declare a ceasefire once Kiev begins withdrawing from Russian territory, including the regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and Zaporozhye.

“Of course,we welcome such an attitude and congratulate the elected US president on taking office,” he added.
Moscow has never “refused dialogue” with Washington and has always expressed readiness to deal with any US administration, the president noted. Russia remains committed to its principles and believes the dialogue must be built upon “equal and mutually respectful basis,” Putin emphasized.

Putin-Trump meeting will take months to organize – Kremlin pool reporter
In-person talks will be preceded by a phone conversation, Aleksandr Yunashev claims
A potential meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, will take months to organize andis not expected before at least March, Kremlin pool journalist Aleksandr Yunashev reported on Monday, citing sources.
Before in-person talks between the two leaders can occur, they are expected to hold phone conversations to discuss the details of the potential meeting and whether it will ultimately take place.
“Journalists can still speculate on the topic of the phone conversation, when exactly it will take place,” a source within the Russian presidency told Yunashev.
The meeting itself will likely take “months” to arrange andis unlikely to occur before Trump embarks on his first overseas trip, unnamed Russian diplomats have suggested. “I’m not sure that it will happen during the winter,” one source told the reporter.
Last Monday, Trump announced his plans to meet with Putin “very quickly” after being sworn in on January 20.
Earlier this month, Trump’s pick for US national security adviser, Michael Waltz,stated that preparations for a potential meeting were already “underway.” According to Waltz, phone talks between the two leaders were expected to take place shortly after Trump’s inauguration.
“We have not set an exact framework for it, yet we’re working on that.But I do expect a call at least in the coming days and weeks. That will be a step and we’ll take it from there,” Waltz said in an interview with ABC News.

Russian diplomat accuses Kiev of genocide
Apparent murders of civilians in Ukrainian captivity in Kursk Region indicate a criminal policy, Rodion Miroshnik has claimed
The Ukrainian military is conducting “language-based genocide,” senior Russian diplomat Rodion Miroshnik claimed on Sunday.
Captured Ukrainian soldiers “have reported they were given orders to kill Russian speakers,” the official tasked by the Russian Foreign Ministry to record alleged Ukrainian atrocities in the conflict with Russia told Izvestia.
Miroshnik was commenting on thediscovery of civilian bodiesin a recently-liberated village in Russia’s Kursk Region. He asserted that the allegedUkrainian policy amounts to “elimination of all civilians” in the area, which Kiev recognizes as Russian.
Russian authorities are investigating Ukrainian troops for suspected terrorism,after the bodies of civilians, who were apparently bound, beaten, and murdered by Kiev’s forces, were discovered in the settlement of Russkoye Porechnoye.
The village remained under Ukrainian control since late August, when it was captured during a Western-supported incursion into the Russian region. The Russian Defense Ministry listed it last Friday as freshly-retaken from Ukrainian forces.
On Sunday, the Foreign Ministrydescribed the discovery as evidence of a “massacre” and the latest confirmation of the “terrorist and neo-Nazi essence of the Kiev regime,” as spokeswoman Maria Zakharova put it. She accused Western supporters of the Ukrainian government of turning a blind eye to Kiev’s crimes, and charged that foreign officials secretly condone such behavior.
The Russian Investigative Committee is probing the Ukrainian military for alleged terrorism, based on the reports from Russkoye Porechnoye. A person convicted of such a crime can be sentenced to life imprisonment in Russia.
A Telegram channel associated with the forces responsible for repelling the Ukrainian incursion in Kursk Region released footage on Saturday of Russian troops inspecting the village andfinding seven heavily-decomposed bodies in two separate cellars. In both cases, people were reportedly bound and beaten, before being killed.
At one of the locations, a body was too damaged to tell whether it belonged to a man or a woman, with evidence suggesting the use of explosives.Most of the victims were described as elderly people, who presumably had failed to flee from advancing Ukrainian troops.
Officials have vowed to hold the perpetrators accountable, with Zakharova stating that, in the absence of action by relevant international bodies, Russia will pursue justice on its own.
Local police have received statements concerning over 1,100 people missing since the start of the Ukrainian incursion, acting Governor Aleksand Khinshtein reported earlier this month. Of those, 240 have been located, he added.
