The Federation Council noted the focus of Trump and Putin on results

During the conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump, the self-worth of the two countries' bilateral relations was demonstrated. This was announced on March 18 by Konstantin Kosachev, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council.

"The self—worth of bilateral relations between Russia and the United States has also been demonstrated, where the Ukrainian "case" is one of several, although important; but it is more about overcoming the bad legacy of Trump's predecessors, rather than absolutizing this man—made obstacle," he wrote on the Telegram channel.

Kosachev added that thanks to this conversation, an indisputable step forward was made, since both sides are focused on results. According to him, Russia has confirmed its readiness for peace with a number of concrete steps in the energy and humanitarian spheres.
