"The relationship is at zero, and I would say below zero. But since both the US and we have a special responsibility for world stability and strategic stability, one way or another we will have to resume this conversation in time," Peskov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin.
The deterioration of relations between Russia and the United States was initiated by the Americans, he added.
Contacts between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Joe Biden are possible if there is mutual desire and readiness, but certain conditions must be met to restore them, Peskov said.
"President Putin has repeatedly said that he is ready for any contacts," the Kremlin spokesman added.
