WASHINGTON, United States, March 27, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Russian lawmakers held talks Thursday with members of the US Congress, a Florida representative and the State Department said -- the first such meeting in several years and one that was welcomed by the Kremlin. Luna's post included photographs of the Russian delegation alongside her and other colleagues as they met in Washington at the headquarters of the United States Institute of Peace, a building recently renamed for Trump. The Kremlin had earlier announced the visit by the Russian lawmakers and said its aim was to help revive ties between Moscow and Washington. All Russian lawmakers of the rubber-stamp parliament are loyal to the Kremlin and support the war in Ukraine. Peskov said Russian President Vladimir Putin had set the "main directives" for the trip and would be "thoroughly briefed" after their meetings in the United States.
