Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin have agreed to initiate talks to resolve the Ukraine conflict.

The Russian president also voiced support for Trump's claim that he, not Joe Biden, was the real winner of the 2020 US election.

US President-elect Donald Trump said on Monday he is going to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin "very quickly" after he takes office next week.

A day after it emerged that a man from Kerala died while fighting in the Russian army on the frontlines of the country's war against Ukraine, the Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday said that it has strongly taken up the issue with Russia.
