The Russian leader mentioned that contacts with the new US administration inspire "certain hopes," as there is a "reciprocal intention to work on restoring intergovernmental relations."
"This is evident in the problems facing the economies of many Western countries and in their domestic politics. We see all of this. It is particularly pronounced during domestic political events in these countries," said the leader of the RF.
