The Presidents of Russia and the United States, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, have set the task of restoring normal bilateral intergovernmental relations, Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Alexander Darchiev said.
"Russia welcomes the constructive and pragmatic approaches of the current US administration to restore bilateral relations that were crippled by its predecessors," Darchiev said.
The diplomat noted that Trump is capable of coming up with a breakthrough solution in Russia-U.S. relations.
"Indeed, not everything is going smoothly and without problems, given the persistent geopolitical circumstances, but it is very important that the leaders of Russia and the U.S., who have established contacts at a personal level, set the task of restoring normal interstate relations, which common people on both sides of the Bering Strait are urging for," Darchiev said.
