"We expect that after all the events are over, after the active phase on the Iranian track has passed, we will see the arrival of those representatives of the US administration with whom we have already met in Moscow repeatedly," Putin said in an interview with Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin, cited by Russian news agencies, which Zarubin also published on the Telegram platform.
"We are ready to continue negotiations and ready to continue negotiations and discuss all the details," he added.
Putin was responding to a question on the state of Russian-US relations after the G7 summit in France, when US President Donald Trump said Russia should "make a deal with Ukraine".
On Wednesday, Trump said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was doing well in the war against Russia, having previously said he lacked the "cards" to win.
