MOSCOW (AP) - President Dmitry Medvedev says he hopes Russia's
relations with the United States improve after President-elect
Barack Obama takes office.
Medvedev says he expects the new U.S. administration will take a
constructive stance and show willingness to compromise on the most
difficult issues.
He says in an interview with Indian Broadcasting Corporation
Doordarshan that he feels "moderately optimistic" about ties with
the U.S. His remarks were posted Thursday on the Kremlin Web.
Moscow's relations with Washington have been strained by
disputes over U.S. plans to deploy missile defense sites in Europe
and Russia's war with Georgia in August.
Medvedev dismissed allegations that a chill in U.S.-Russian
relations could lead to a new Cold War.
