No imminent Putin-Trump summit despite war concerns
In recent days, Putin and Trump have mentioned their willingness to meet, which could contribute to ending the war in Ukraine. However, all indications suggest that this won't happen quickly. On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that "there are currently no such plans."
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the TASS agency that there are no plans for a personal meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump.
He added that "so far, there have been no specific initiatives."
Let's remember that on Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump, during his speech in Phoenix, mentioned that he anticipates the possibility of such a meeting.
Are Putin and Trump ready?
- President Putin said he wants to meet with me as soon as possible. We have to wait for that, but we must end this war. This war is dreadful; the number of soldiers dying each day is terrible, - Trump said.
He added that "no one has ever seen anything like this." - Millions of soldiers have already died. Millions. We have to act. We are witnessing numbers that are simply unbelievable. It would never have happened if I were president. This war would never have occurred - stated the president-elect.
Earlier, Russian leader Vladimir Putin, during a "direct line" with the nation, stated that he is ready for a conversation and meeting with Trump. He noted, however, that if such a meeting takes place, both presidents must have topics to discuss.
