Russian side...
Zero mention of Navalny and Ukraine. That is why I emphasized years ago how important it is for Americans to put out the read and not rely on propaganda. Unfortunately Putin's puppet served Putin's interests and didn't do that

Doesn’t it feel great to have a President of the United States who’s loyalty is to the United States?

Telephone conversation with US President Joseph Biden

Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with the President of the United States of America, Joseph Biden.

January 26, 202121:35

Vladimir Putin congratulated Joseph Biden on the beginning of his work as President of the United States. He noted that the normalization of relations between Russia and the United States would meet the interests of both countries and - taking into account their special responsibility for maintaining security and stability in the world - of the entire international community.

The Presidents expressed satisfaction in connection with the exchange of diplomatic notes carried out today on reaching an agreement on the extension of the Treaty on Strategic Offensive Arms. In the coming days, the parties will complete all the necessary procedures to ensure the further functioning of this important international legal mechanism for the mutual limitation of nuclear missile arsenals.

Topical issues of the bilateral and international agenda were discussed. The possibilities of cooperation in the fight against such an acute problem as the coronavirus pandemic, as well as in other areas, including trade and economic, were considered.

Among the international topics were the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the Open Skies Treaty, the problem of preserving the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action on the Iranian nuclear program, internal Ukrainian settlement, as well as the Russian initiative to hold a summit of permanent members of the UN Security Council.

On the whole, the conversation between the leaders of Russia and the United States was businesslike and frank. It was agreed to maintain contacts.
