Russia has said it remains "ready for an equal dialogue, a mutually respectful dialogue", reacting to US President Donald Trump's threat to impose sanctions against Moscow if it did not "stop this ridiculous war" in Ukraine.
"We're waiting for signals that are yet to arrive," says President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov.
He adds that Russia sees nothing new in Donald Trump's threats to impose sanctions.
"He likes these methods, at least he liked them during his first presidency."
The response comes after a comment yesterday from Russia's deputy UN Ambassador Dmitry Polyanskiy, who says the Kremlin would need to know what Trump wants in a deal to end the war before taking any further steps."
