Putin: It is important for Russia and the US to restore cooperation. Russia hopes that the resolution of the Ukraine issue will be long-term

President of Russia, Putin, stated that it is important for Russia and the United States to restore cooperation.

Puvin said at a joint press conference with US President Trump: "It is important and necessary for our two countries to turn a new page and restore cooperation."

Puvin pointed out: "We have many interesting areas of joint work. Cooperation in the Arctic region and restoring regional connections are realistic, including the connection between our Far East region and the west coast of the United States."

He added: "It is evident that there is great potential in Russian-American commercial and investment cooperation. Russia and the United States have things to offer each other in trade, energy, digital fields, high technology, and space exploration."

Puvin said at a joint press conference with US President Trump: "Our country sincerely hopes to end this situation. However, we are also convinced that in order for the resolution of the Ukraine issue to be lasting and long-term, all the roots of the crisis must be eliminated. We have mentioned these roots multiple times."

Puvin also said that Russia sees the willingness of the Trump administration to assist in resolving the Ukraine crisis, as well as the desire to explore the nature of the conflict and understand its roots.

He said: "Today we also heard President Trump say, 'If I were president, there would not have been this war.' I think it would indeed be that way. I confirm this."
