FILE - In this June 27, 2014, file photo, Russian President Vladimir Putin attends a ceremony of presentation of credentials by foreign ambassadors in the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow. In a statement published on the Kremlin website on Friday, July 4, 2014, Putin said "regardless of difficulties and disagreements" he hoped that Russia and the U.S. could "successfully develop relations on pragmatic and equal grounds." Relations between Russia and the U.S. have deteriorated as the two countries have struggled to find common ground in Ukraine, where Russia annexed the Black Sea region of Crimea in March and a conflict in the east of the country has claimed over 400 lives.
