MOSCOW, Jan 22 () - President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia is ready to donate $1 billion in U. dollars from its sovereign assets frozen in the United States to President Donald Trump's Board of Peace and commit an unspecified ​amount for the restoration of Ukraine.

The Kremlin said Putin was joined, as at previous meetings with the U.S. side, by his foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov and special envoy Kirill Dmitriev. A brief video clip showed Putin shaking hands with the three Americans and inviting them to take their seats at a long oval table.
