The Kremlin said this morning that there may be progress in scheduling a meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin after the US president-elect is sworn in later this month.

According to foreign media, Trump said yesterday that a meeting between him and Putin was being discussed, but did not offer any timeline.

The Kremlin said it welcomed the fact that Trump was demonstrating a desire to resolve problems through dialogue. 

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "Moscow has repeatedly stated that it is open to contacts with international leaders, including the US president, including Donald Trump."

"And the president himself has repeatedly said this, and we have repeatedly said this, and there are no preconditions required for this," he said.

"What is required is a mutual desire and political will to develop dialogue and to solve existing problems through dialogue. We see that even Mr. Trump declares his willingness to solve problems through dialogue. We welcome this," Peskov further said.

"There are no specifics yet, we proceed from mutual readiness for the meeting. Apparently, when Mr. Trump enters the Oval Office, there will be developments," Peskov concluded.
