Putin ready to help resolve war in Middle East, Kremlin says
Vladimir Putin is talking to regional leaders in the Middle East and Russia is ready to contribute to resolving the Iran conflict, Moscow has said.
In his daily briefing with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "The president is continuing these contacts, and if our services are somehow required, we are, of course, ready to make our contribution to ensuring that the military situation transitions to a peaceful course as soon as possible."
Peskov was responding to a question about Donald Trump's speech to the nation about the Iran war and his separate comment that he was considering pulling the US out of NATO - an alliance which Peskov said Russia viewed as "hostile".
Discussing the prospects of a Russian-Arab summit, he added: "Certainly, easing tensions in the region and minimising the negative consequences of this war are only possible through negotiations, through dialogue, for which such a summit could potentially become a good platform in the future."
