While the talks are mostly consecrated to resuscitating post-Cold War nuclear arms control treaties, they will also cover the standoff over Ukraine, where Russia has deployed a large combat force on the border.
The United States and Russia will hold much-anticipated talks in January, a White House official told AFP Monday, with the rivals due to negotiate on nuclear arms control and mounting tensions over Ukraine.
"The United States looks forward to engaging with Russia," a spokesperson for the National Security Council said, on condition of anonymity.
"When we sit down to talk, Russia can put its concerns on the table and we will put our concerns on the table with Russia's activities as well."
Bilateral talks are scheduled for January 10, the spokesperson said.
