"Russia believes it is necessary to renew disarmament negotiations as soon as possible, especially since the legal framework in the field of arms control has been significantly undermined, and not because of the Russian Federation. The U.S. has terminated its commitment and undermined the existence of this legal framework. So in the interests of the whole world and in the interests of the peoples of our countries, of course, we are interested in starting this negotiation process as soon as possible"

STORYLINE:
The Kremlin warned Friday that a settlement in Ukraine couldn’t be facilitated by a drop in global oil prices as U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested.
Speaking by video from the White House to the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump said on Thursday that the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries has shared responsibility for the nearly three-year conflict in Ukraine because it has kept oil prices too high.
“If the price came down, the Russia-Ukraine war would end immediately,” Trump said.
Asked about Trump’s comments, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov reaffirmed Moscow’s view that the Ukrainian conflict had been triggered by the Western refusal to take into account Russian security interests.
“The conflict doesn’t depend on oil prices,” Peskov said in a conference call with reporters.
"The conflict is ongoing because of the threat to Russia’s national security, the threat to Russians living on those territories and the refusal by the Americans and the Europeans to listen to Russia’s security concerns.”
Kremlin spokesperson reaffirmed that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains ready for contact with Trump.
