Putin and Trump express openness, but talks remain uncertain
In recent days, Putin and Trump have suggested that they are open to meeting, which could contribute to ending the war in Ukraine. However, everything indicates that this will not happen quickly. On Monday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that "there are currently no such plans."
- Currently, there are no plans for a personal meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump - said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov to the TASS agency.
He added that "so far, there have been no specific prompts."
Let's recall that on Sunday, President-elect Donald Trump, during his speech in Phoenix, stated that he expects 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 have to end this war. This war is terrible, the number of soldiers dying every 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 do something. We are seeing numbers that are just crazy. It would never have happened if I were president. This war would never have occurred - the president-elect stated.
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 need to have something to discuss.
