Kremlin: No Hope for Improvement in Russian-US Relations

Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov asserted on Friday that there is no hope of enhancing the relations between Russia and the US in the near future.

Peskov indicated that the bilateral relations during Joe Biden’s presidency were very bad, adding that they are now probably at their lowest point ever.

"The past two years [of the Biden presidency], despite the initial timid hopes associated with the Geneva summit, have been very bad for our bilateral relations," Peskov said.

He further stated that "there is no hope for an improvement in the foreseeable future."

In the same vein, Peskov asserted that Russia will keep a close eye on the US attempts to urge Latin American countries to hand over weapons to Ukraine.

The Russian presidential spokesman commented on a statement by a Pentagon representative that Washington was working with nine Latin American countries to urge them to hand over available Russian weapons to Ukraine in exchange for the delivery of US equipment.

He said: "In general, it is hard today to imagine anything that can be a surprise."

"Here it is very important [to bear in mind] the legal restrictions of any deliveries to third countries. This is because any deliveries are, of course, conditioned by certain commitments of those countries that receive military equipment," Peskov added.
