WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Konstantin Kosachev, who chairs the Foreign Relations Committee of the Russian parliament’s upper house, said on Tuesday that he had offered to launch an inter-parliamentary dialogue with his US counterparts.
"What I would hope for my colleagues and also for the White House is before meeting with either Vladimir Putin or the Russians, we would have a meeting with our NATO colleagues," Kaine said. "I wouldn’t be adverse, though, to having that kind of meeting after."
