NOVO-OGARYOVO, January 20. /TASS/. Russia is open to communication with the incoming US administration about the Ukrainian conflict, and sees elimination of the root causes of the crisis as the priority, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the country’s Security Council.

"We are also open to dialogue with the new US administration about the Ukrainian conflict. The most important thing there is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis, which we have talked about many times. This is the most essential thing," he said.

According to Putin, Moscow has taken note of statements by Trump and his team about the desire to reinstate communication and the need to make every effort to avert World War III.

Yes Mr. Putin... You are open to communication and when Trump tells you to jump, the only thing you need to say is ‘how high?’

So, PUtin is willing to eliminate himself in order to stop the war and the possibility of WW3?

Glad to hear it. Trump should accept that initiative.

Or what? Are we going to try to sanction them and cut them off from the financial world? We going to attack Russia?
We going to give the Ukrainians money and weapons we don’t have and manpower?

We are in a very weak negotiating position.

And if he says no, as is a certainty? Then what?

For extra credit tell us about Trump’s affection for Ukraine. that schemed against him the whole time he was in office, and for Zelinsky who campaigned for Kamala in Pennsylvania.

Show your work.

Perhaps it’s time to have another weekend pow-wow between the USA and Russia and see if peace is possible.

There are two sides to every coin.

Peace was in the air in 1990 and both parties thought it would happen. Both sides can point fingers as to why it didn’t. Is it possible in the future??

The funny thing is that it is Trump who needs to save face. It is now his war.
