The Kremlin said on Wednesday that the dates of a summit meeting between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump had yet to be set, and added that neither Putin nor Trump wanted to waste time.

President Donald Trump's unexpected pivot on the Russia-Ukraine War seems to have created headaches for the Kremlin.

Trump called a proposed tunnel from Russia to Alaska 'interesting' and said he would 'have to think about that.'

Russia is prepared to expand cooperation with Iran in all areas, the Kremlin said on Monday. Moscow has close relations with Tehran and condemned U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear sites earlier this year that were carried out with the stated aim of preventing Tehran from acquiring a nuclear bomb.

At every turn, the coalition used channels of communication to the Kremlin for risk management. Constant and discreet channels between seasoned US national security professionals and their Russian counterparts were always there to ensure that any Nato step to elevate support for Ukraine would be backed up by conflict diplomacy.

When Putin travelled to Alaska for his Anchorage summit in August, the US granted special permission for the presidential plane - a modified Ilyushin Il-96 airliner dubbed the "Flying Kremlin" that has four engines and is bristling with defence systems.
