ALBAWABA - The Kremlin revealed on Monday that Russia has not received any signals from the United States regarding a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump.

"So far, we have not received any signals from the Americans. The readiness remains. The same readiness, as we have heard, remains on the American side," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the media.

About two days ago, Putin expressed an opening to holding talks and meeting with the US President about energy prices and the war on Ukraine.

In an interview with TV channel Russia 24, Putin said: "It would be better for us to meet, based on the realities of today, to talk calmly on all those areas that are of interest to both the United States and Russia."

"We are ready. But, I repeat, this primarily, of course, depends on the decisions and choices of the current American administration," he maintained.
