Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday that an in-person meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his United States counterpart Donald Trump must be "properly prepared" and noted that "difficult technical negotiations" will be required first.
Peskov spoke about this week's phone call between the two leaders in an interview with a Russian journalist, Pavel Zarubin, describing the tone of the conversation as "an absolutely trusting, frank, constructive working atmosphere." The Kremlin press secretary also noted that it was "probably one of the longest conversations" between the leaders of the US and Russia and did not rule out that there have been other contacts between Putin and Trump other than those officially announced.
The United States and Russia's delegations are set to meet in Riyadh tomorrow to continue their negotiations regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
