Russia has key interests in common with the United States and needs to work with it on a common agenda, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday in a television interview.
In his comments to the state-run Rossiya channel, Putin appeared to soften his anti-American rhetoric after being highly critical. Relations between Moscow and Washington and other Western powers have soured over the conflict in Russia's neighbor Ukraine, sinking to an all-time low.
"We have disagreements on several issues on the international agenda. But at the same time there is something that unites us, that forces us to work together," Putin said.
"I mean general efforts directed at making the world economy more democratic, measured and balanced, so that the world order is more democratic. We have a common agenda."

I guess Putin feels that while Obama has been pantsed over Iran it might be an opportune time to get in the ‘gimmedat’ line himself.
That Fool Obama will give him anything he wants ,LOL
The hell with Russia. Its time to rebuild America and its military. The economy is a mess.
Not a fool, rather an ideological opponent of the West bent on its destruction.
Yes they do have a common agenda. The knee capping of America.
Na , just a FOOL
Just this AM I saw that India scrapped its order for fighter jets from France and instead ordered from Russia, also Russia is negotiating paying Greece in advance for a gas pipeline. So much for sanctions.
Extend an invitation to Hillary as well with hopes that we could get a two-fer..................................
It’s in Putin’s interest to keep the U.S. weak, and hence to have Hilary as president. This is an attempt to make Hillary’s reset button look successful.
Let’s hope that Obama will tighten the screws on Putin, and start listening more to Cruz and conservatives.
The West needs to show a strong front against Putin now, Putin’s unstable and dangerous personality, and hubris, has the potential to lead him into incredible mistakes, which could cost us American lives.
"Death to America!"
