MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday Moscow is in dialogue with with the United States on the issue of bringing home jailed Americans Paul Whelan and Evan Gershkovich and the Kremlin hopes to “find a solution,” even though “it’s not easy.” Putin spoke about Whelan and Gershkovich during his year-end press conference in response to a question about a recent offer the Biden administration made to secure the two men’s release. The U.S. State Department reported it earlier this month, without offering details, and said Russia rejected it. Putin said that Moscow is not refusing to bring the two Americans back home, wondering somewhat rhetorically in passing: “Why would they commit offenses on Russian soil?”“We have contacts on this matter with our American partners, there’s a dialogue on this issue. It’s not easy, I won’t go into details right now. But in general, it seems to me that we’re speaking a language each of us understands,” he continued...

Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:26:22 GMT

MILAN (AP) — World Cup winner Lautaro Martínez has two targets: To score 100 goals this season and to renew his contract with Inter Milan.One is more realistic than the other.Inter is in discussions with its star striker on a new five-year contract and when asked if it could be sorted before the new year, Lautaro said he would gladly sign a new deal “tomorrow” and is very close to finalising the details.Lautaro was in buoyant mood in the recent interview with Italian broadcaster Sportmediaset, which also asked him if he had a goalscoring target for this season.“Let’s say 100,” the Argentina international responded with a laugh.“I like to score a lot but the important thing is that Inter wins. My aim is to go up a level every year.”Lautaro has certainly stepped up this year and has grown further after being handed the captain’s armband by Inter in the summer.While 100 goals should be out of reach, breaking the Serie A goal-scoring record of 36 could be a distinct possibility.Lautaro ...
