MOSCOW, Jan 16, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The Kremlin said Friday it considered calls by some European states to resume dialogue with Russia as "positive", after some European leaders called for re-engagement with Russia on Ukraine.

"We have noted statements made in recent days by a number of European leaders," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding: "if this truly reflects the strategic vision of the Europeans, then it is a positive evolution of their position."
