Putin-Trump, Kremlin: ‘Meeting necessary’. Meanwhile, 26 Ukrainian drones shot down in Russia
Spokesman Peskov confirms ongoing contacts with Washington for a summit. Overnight drone raids on Moscow, Bryansk and Kaluga: no injuries or damage reported
A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump ‘is necessary’. This was said by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov at a press briefing. ‘We believe that in many ways a meeting is obviously necessary, and it is a topic on everyone’s lips,’ he said. According to Peskov, such a summit ‘must be prepared and this requires efforts at different levels of expertise’, stressing that ‘continuous contacts between Moscow and Washington are ongoing’.
The opening comes at a time of high international tension, with the United States which, under President Trump, has shown an interlocutory but firm attitude towards Russia, particularly on the Ukrainian issue.
