Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump may meet as early as this month, though a face-to-face assembly will take time to arrange, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Wednesday, based on Russian news companies.
Peskov stated the U.S.-Russia talks held on Tuesday in Riyadh have been a “very, very important step” in the direction of reaching a settlement on the Ukraine conflict, nearing its third yr.
“In order to carry out, figuratively speaking, resuscitation measures, diplomats will now begin to work in light of the agreement (Russian Foreign Minister Sergei) Lavrov reached yesterday with (U.S. Secretary of State Marco) Rubio,” Peskov was quoted by state media as saying.
“But this is the first step…Naturally, it’s impossible to fix everything in one day or a week. There is a long way to go,” he added.
The talks in Riyadh have been the primary time U.S. and Russian officers met to debate methods to halt the deadliest battle in Europe since World War Two. No Ukrainian or European officers have been invited. Kyiv has stated it is not going to settle for any deal imposed with out its consent.
