Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Peskov said in an interview with the TASS news agency, "Hypothetically, such a meeting is possible, but at this moment there is no need for it."
He also emphasized that Russia's main focus is now on carefully advancing the process of resolving the Ukrainian crisis and any decision on a meeting between the two countries' leaders will be made only after progress on this path.
These statements come at a time when relations between Moscow and Washington remain tense following the war in Ukraine and Western sanctions, and despite the Trump administration showing interest in negotiating with Russia on Ukraine, in practice, pressure on Moscow continues.
Russia and the United States have held several rounds of talks on security and regional issues, but no immediate meeting between the two leaders is planned.
Experts believe that any meeting between Putin and Trump without tangible progress on the Ukraine issue will have little impact on reducing tensions.
According to some experts, the Kremlin’s decision shows that Russia is currently focused on diplomatic negotiations and the path to resolving the Ukrainian crisis.
According to these analysts, this position is likely to send a clear message to Washington that any attempt to put immediate pressure on Moscow without progress on key issues may be fruitless and complicate future negotiations.
