Uncertain Summit: Kremlin Stalls on Putin-Trump Meeting Dates

The Kremlin announced uncertainties regarding the timing of a potential summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump. A CNN report suggested that a preparatory meeting between Marco Rubio and Sergei Lavrov was delayed. Kremlin denied any postponement, citing no finalized dates for the summit.

The Kremlin has declared the timing of a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump as uncertain, with no specific dates in discussion.

The clarification comes after a CNN report indicated that a preparatory session between U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had been delayed. This session was viewed as an essential step for organizing a Trump-Putin summit.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refuted claims of postponement, stating that neither leader has provided exact dates and that substantial preparation is required for such a meeting. Currently, Moscow lacks clarity on the timing of talks between the two presidents.
