Putin: Russia ready to work with new U.S. leadership

Russia is not seeking conflict and is prepared to work with the United States' new leadership, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday.


In his 72-minute speech, an annual state-of-the-nation address, Putin said: "We are prepared to cooperate with the new American administration. It's important to normalize and begin to develop bilateral relations on an equal and mutually beneficial basis. Mutual efforts by Russia and the United States in solving global and regional problems are in the interest of the entire world."
