Putin sends his wishes to Trump and advocates dialogue.

Vladimir Putin says he is ready to address a "wide range of topics" with the United States, in a letter to Donald Trump for the New Year, reports the Kremlin in a statement released Sunday.

The US President, who was scheduled to meet with his Russian counterpart on the occasion of the G20 summit in Buenos Aires, November 30 and December 1, gave up at the last minute after the arrest of three Ukrainian vessels by the Navy Russian in the Kerch Strait.
