Kremlin Says No Word from US on Potential Putin-Trump Meeting

The Kremlin has stated that it has not received any communication from the United States regarding a potential meeting between President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov commented on Monday that while no concrete plans have been made, Russia remains open to organizing such a meeting. He noted that it may take some time before a meeting can be arranged, but Russia understands that the U.S. is still interested.

President Putin recently suggested that he and Trump should meet to discuss key issues, including the ongoing war in Ukraine and global energy prices. These topics have been a central focus for President Trump in the early days of his new administration.

Both leaders have been under pressure to address the situation in Ukraine, where the conflict continues to escalate. Trump has threatened tougher economic sanctions against Russia unless Moscow agrees to end its military actions in Ukraine.

The lack of communication thus far has left the details of a potential meeting uncertain, though the Kremlin's spokesperson confirmed that Russia is prepared to engage with the U.S. on these critical matters.
