Kremlin: Putin, Trump set to talk after special envoy's update

The exact timing of a conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump has not been finalized, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated.

In a briefing, Peskov explained that the timing of the call would be decided after special envoy Steve Witkoff, who is currently visiting Moscow, reports back to President Trump with the information gathered during his trip, Caliber.Az reports citing Russian media.

“The exact time of the conversation between the two presidents has not yet been agreed upon,” Peskov stated. “However, once Mr. Witkoff presents all the information he has received in Moscow to his president, we will then determine the timing of the conversation."

Peskov also highlighted that both sides acknowledge the necessity of such a conversation, signaling a mutual understanding between the two leaders.

Putin's conversation with Witkoff took place the evening before, following the US-Ukrainian talks in Jeddah, where the Kyiv agreed to a 30-day ceasefire. As Peskov explained, Putin conveyed information and additional signals to Trump through the US special envoy.

Putin and Trump held last phone conversation on February 12. During that call, the two leaders discussed the situation in Ukraine for an hour and a half, as well as ongoing issues in bilateral relations. They also agreed to continue their dialogue, including the possibility of organizing in-person meetings.
