MOSCOW, December 19. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that he is ready for a conversation with US President-elect Donald Trump at any time and agrees to meet with him.

"I am ready for this [conversation], of course, at any time. And I will also be ready for a meeting, if he wants it," Putin said at the combined Direct Line Q&A and year-end press conference, when asked by an American journalist about a possible meeting with Trump.

Putin noted that he did not know when he would meet with Trump. "First of all, I don't know when we will meet with him. Because he doesn't say anything about it. I haven't talked to him at all for more than four years," he pointed out.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that Moscow is ready for contacts with Washington to resolve the Ukrainian crisis, but has not yet received any serious proposals from Trump's team. According to the diplomat, the Russian Foreign Ministry has recently regularly received many questions about whether Russia is ready to contact Trump and his team.

Whenever Trump does meet with the Butcher of Butchers, I pray he will have the good sense to stay away from any open windows and decline any offer of food or drink.

In a general sense, one would expect Trump to send no more money in a non-policy configuration.

Rather, there will be much more important things to spend time on — namely immigration. If Ukraine’s govt is replaced with a pro Russia gov’t, the killing stops and Trump’s response to questions will be to quote how many deportations took place that week — a statistic of far more importance.

People who want the best for the Ukraine will support Trump and his peace effort with Putin. Either get in line or get out of the way.

Biden wouldn’t even talk with Putin. He preferred that a million people died instead to protect his money laundering scheme in Ukraine.

Trump is in far more danger from the US feral government (that has already tried to assassinate him at least twice) than he is from Putin.

Putin, ... told a reporter for a US news channel that he was ready to meet Trump, whom he said he had not spoken to for years.

It's interesting that they haven't spoken yet after Trump's election victory. No congratulations call.
