The Kremlin said on ​Friday that the ‌United States is wrong to make economic cooperation ​with Russia conditional ​on a settlement of ⁠the war in ​Ukraine.

“We are wasting time, ​and American companies, just like our own, are ​missing out on ​the profits they could already ‌be ⁠making,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

Peskov said the topic of ​cooperation was ​still ⁠on the agenda, adding that Russia ​and the U.S. “have ​many ⁠opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation”.
