The discussion focused on international issues, including the situation in the Middle East, the state of affairs around Ukraine, and the future of relations with the US under the new administration.
We are open to dialogue with the new US administration on the Ukrainian conflict. The most important aspect here is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis. <...>
As for the settlement of the situation itself, I would like to reiterate that it should not be about a short truce or some kind of respite needed to regroup and rearm with a view to continuing the conflict later, but rather about lasting peace based on respect for the legitimate interests of all peoples and nations in the region.

See more on the Kremlin’s official website.
Last year, we saw an increase in the non-oil and gas share of budget revenues: it grew by 26 percent, reaching 25.6 trillion rubles. This figure is almost 800 billion rubles higher than the Government's autumn projections. And this means that a reliable revenue base, which is far less dependent on the situation in the global raw materials markets, is being formed for this year's budget.
