Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said a call or meeting between Putin and Biden could be set up at any time, but there were no concrete plans yet for a summit.
Moscow: Hours after French president Emmanuel Macron informed of a probable meeting between US President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, Kremlin said there were no firm plans for a meeting between the two leaders over the Ukraine crisis.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said a call or meeting between Putin and Biden could be set up at any time, but there were no concrete plans yet for a summit.
The statements came after the French president said the two leaders had agreed on a meeting in principle on a condition that Russia assures the US of not invading Ukraine.
Macron`s office and the White House on the other hand said that the substance of the plan would be worked out by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a meeting planned for Thursday.
The proposed summit, which comes at a time when counter-attacked at checkpoints have intensified between Ukraine and Moscow, is believed to offer a way out of what could turn out to be Europe’s biggest military face-off in decades.
