️ 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 NYT: Vladimir Putin is moving to restore relations with the United States without making significant concessions regarding the war in Ukraine, amid recent diplomatic openings and economic agreements between Washington and Moscow.

According to the media in the US, recent decisions - such as the purchase of Russian diesel, the temporary suspension of energy sanctions and diplomatic overtures led by special envoys - reflect a strategy by the White House to encourage negotiations, while the Kremlin strives to disconnect the Ukrainian conflict from bilateral trade and its recognition as a world power.
