Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov indicated that preparations for a summit between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are ongoing and will be held as soon as the need arises. He stated that “contacts are underway between Russia and the United States regarding a possible meeting between the two presidents,” without providing any further details.
Ushakov also noted that a meeting or phone call between Putin and Trump could be arranged quickly, and that their summit would be held as soon as the need arose. He noted that contacts would continue at the official level, not the two presidents.
In contrast, Trump recently expressed his desire to meet with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, saying, “I would be happy to meet and speak with Putin. We need to end the Ukraine crisis as quickly as possible.”
Presidents Putin and Trump recently held a phone call that lasted an hour and a half, at the conclusion of which they agreed to prepare for a bilateral meeting and form two teams for negotiations on Ukraine and normalization between the two countries.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also said the two leaders discussed the exchange of detainees and prisoners, and ways to resolve the conflict in Ukraine.
