		</div><p>Russian president Vladimir Putin is set to speak by phone with his US counterpart Donald Trump over the weekend, the Kremlin said.</p>
<p>Mr Putin&#8217;s spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the conversation is scheduled for Saturday. They last spoke when Mr Putin congratulated Mr Trump shortly after his election victory last November.</p>
<p>Mr Peskov said the Russian president wants to congratulate Mr Trump on taking office, adding that the two leaders are also expected to <i>&#8220;exchange views about main parameters of current bilateral relations&#8221;.</i></p>
<p>He would not elaborate on what specific issues could be discussed and would not say if the two leaders could use the call to agree on a meeting.</p>
<p>The Kremlin has applauded Mr Trump&#8217;s promises to mend ties with Moscow, which have plunged to post-Cold War lows over the Ukrainian crisis, the war in Syria and allegations of Russian meddling in the US elections.</p>
<p>Russian officials and parliamentarians have warned, however, that rebuilding ravaged ties will take time.</p>
<p>Barack Obama&#8217;s administration and the European Union slapped Moscow with sanctions for its annexation of Ukraine&#8217;s Crimean Peninsula and support for a pro-Russia insurgency in eastern Ukraine.</p>
<p>The restrictions have limited Russian companies&#8217; access to international financial markets and barred key technology transfers, helping drive the Russian economy into recession. Russia has responded by banning imports of most Western agricultural products.</p>
<p>Asked about the claims that Mr Trump is considering an order to lift the US sanctions against Russia, Mr Peskov said he has no information about it.</p>
