Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to start working on arranging a meeting with President Trump, according to the Kremlin.

"We are ready to discuss different options, but no concrete agreements have been reached so far," Putin aide Yuri Ushakov told TASS, a Russian state-run news agency. Another Russian diplomat told TASS that the "meeting is being coordinated."

Putin's primary spokesman tapped the brakes on the reports, saying it's "wishful thinking" to expect the meeting to take place in the next month. Still, that's a softer tone than Russian officials have taken in recent weeks. After initially hoping that Trump's inauguration would produce a raft of policy concessions to Russia, Putin's team talked down the prospects of a meeting and routinely accused the United States of making aggressive efforts to maintain global hegemony.

"The dialogue continues and the foreign policy chiefs have already met, and surely more than one telephone talk has been held," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said Thursday. "But, in my mind, there are all possibilities of all the sides to expedite this work by several times. On our part, there are no problems."

Other Russian officials have been openly adversarial, however, accusing the United States of waging "a hybrid war with the entire world" and calling for an end to Russia's dependence on the dollar as the global reserve currency.

"As soon as we and China dump the dollar, it will be the end of the U.S.' military might," Kremlin advisor Sergey Glazyev told TASS last week. "In objective terms, they are conducting a global hybrid war and in subjective terms, this war is aimed at us. Moreover, as it always happens when a global leader is changed, the war is for control over rimland nations. During WWI and WWII, Britain acted as an instigator in a bid to keep its global leadership. Now the United States is doing the same. And Trump expresses these interests."
