According to Tass, Russian President Press Secretary Peskov said on September 23 that Russian President Putin is ready to meet with U.S. President Trump, but there are no specific details available at this time.
"Currently there is no specific news about high-level meetings. If it refers to a meeting between Russian and American leaders, the President is prepared for it." Peskov said.
Putin and Trump were in telephone conversations emphasizing that they were willing to hold another meeting at some point if necessary. He added...
Peskov emphasized that before the meetings between Russian and American leaders, both countries should carry out preliminary preparations at the 'expert level'. Otherwise, the high-level negotiations regarding the Ukraine issue will be meaningless.
"It is impractical to hold a summit meeting before expert level work is completed, and this wastes time." Peschkov said.
Regarding whether a meeting could take place between Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky, Peskov said that the Kremlin's stance has not changed.
"If we talk about a possible meeting between Putin and Zelenyuk, our position is well known. Putin said that if Zelenyuk wishes to do so, he can come to Moscow. We will provide him with security, and Zelenyuk is very aware of the decisions that must be made."
Peskov also said on that day that Kiev continues to expand its military capabilities. In this context, any discussions by the West regarding a “energy ceasefire” in Ukraine are merely empty talk.
Zelenskyy stated on the 23rd that he is ready to establish an energy ceasefire with Russia. If Russia stops attacking Ukrainian energy facilities, Ukraine is also willing to stop attacking Russian energy facilities.
Zelenskyy also said on that day that he had requested US President Trump to provide new 'Winter Package' military equipment, and believed that the United States would seek an agreement to stop attacks on energy infrastructure.
