“It is necessary to change the state of negative confrontation into a dialogue. And it is developing with the Americans. On December 7 this year President Vladimir Putin spoke with US President John F. Kennedy. Putin spoke with US President Biden for more than two hours via video link. For all serious contradictions, differences in approaches, there is a desire to develop such a dialogue, at least in the US”, –  Lavrov said.
