At the moment between the two leaders there is no program of a new dialogue, but I reiterate that President Putin remains open to such communication, and if necessary such a conversation can be mounted immediately, the spokesman told reporters on Monday.

Earlier, Trump explained in an appearance for NBC News that he plans to hold a telephone conversation with his Russian counterpart in the coming days.

The second telephone conversation between the two heads of State took place on March 18, where they discussed a future settlement of the Ukrainian conflict, the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States, cooperation in the Middle East, and a ceasefire on attacks against energy targets.
