Russia does not rule out contacts with US over next few days, foreign ministry says

MOSCOW, March 11 (Reuters) - The Russian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that it didn't rule out contacts with the United States representatives over next several days, state news agency RIA reported, after U.S. President Donald Trump said that there would be a U.S. meeting with Russia later Tuesday or Wednesday.

Trump said that he hoped Russia would agree to a ceasefire plan drawn up by American and Ukrainian officials and that a total ceasefire could be achieved in the three-year war in the coming days. He said he thought he would talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin about it this week.
