“The president [of Russia Vladimir Putin] also has non-public meetings today in preparation for tomorrow’s Russian-American contacts,” Peskov said.
The Kremlin will also show footage of the start of the meeting, the official said, adding that a statement to the media following the meeting is not excluded.
Speaking about the future US policy toward Russia, Peskov noted that it is too early to make any forecasts.
Commenting on the Ukraine peace process, Peskov said that Russia is interested in the success of the settlement and will not conduct any discussions through the media.
“We have already said that for the process to be successful — and we are interested in success — we do not intend to conduct these [discussions] in the megaphone mode. We do not intend to conduct any discussions through the media,” Peskov said.
Practice will tell whether Andriy Yermak’s dismissal from the post of the head of Volodymyr Zelensky’s office would impact the Ukraine negotiations, Peskov stressed.
