Russia has expressed readiness to help with talks between the US and Iran in the ongoing conflict between the two countries.

Russian deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, made this known as quoted by TASS state news agency.

“Russia is ready to provide all possible assistance in resolving this conflict, and the parties involved are well aware of this,” Ryabkov said.

UGAMATV reports that since Donald Trump began his second term in the White House, the US and Russia have grown closer, with Vladimir Putin meeting the US President in Alaska last year.

Trump often talked up his relationship with Putin, and he has been accused of pandering to him despite Russia’s ongoing war on Ukraine, which it started in February 2022.

Putin is currently in China, a week after Trump met Xi Jinping in Beijing.
