The joint efforts towards the restoration of peace in Ukraine and Syria can help restore Russian-U.S. relations, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has said.

He noted the importance of dialogue and joint work in an interview with the Rossiya-24 (VGTRK) television channel. It is important that the leaders plan steps they can take in the interests of their people, Kerry said.

Things will be much better for the people of Russia if peace is restored in Ukraine and Syria, he said. Besides, this can help markedly refresh relations between the United States and Russia so that they could work together on the resolution of any conflicts they encounter, Kerry said.
