Kremlin says no decision yet on possible Putin-Trump summit in December

The ​Kremlin said on ​Thursday that no decision ‌had ​been taken yet on a possible summit in December ‌between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and that it was premature to ‌discuss the agenda. The United States invited ‌Putin to a December G20 meeting in Miami, Florida where he could hold a summit with ⁠Trump, US Secretary ​of ⁠State Marco Rubio said on Wednesday.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry ⁠Peskov told reporters that Russia valued the invitation and ​would decide on its response. Trump has ⁠been trying since returning to the White House ⁠in January ​last year to broker an end to the war in Ukraine, but without ⁠achieving a breakthrough.

Peskov reiterated Russia's position that it ⁠is ⁠seeking a peace settlement, not a temporary ceasefire.
