According to Psaki, she cannot "predict ... any conversations at this stage, but, of course, the president picks up the phone, communicates with a number of foreign leaders."

“The hint is clear and even too ... But should Putin be the first to call Biden?

Should one be above the "conventions"?

But both Washington and Moscow are well aware of the fact that there are no conventions in politics - everything is important, ”Pushkov wrote in Telegram.

He noted that it is especially important "given the mood with which Biden came to the White House."

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that if the administration of US President Joe Biden is ready to cooperate with Moscow, then Russian leader Vladimir Putin will reciprocate.
