The Kremlin said on Monday it had yet to receive any signals from the United States about arranging a possible meeting between President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump, but remained ready to organise such an encounter, as per a report.

"So far, we have not received any signals from the Americans", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call, Reuters reported.

"(Russia's) readiness (for a meeting) remains, and the same readiness, as far as we have heard, remains on the American side. Apparently, a certain amount of time is required (to set something up)," he said.


The nearly three-year Ukraine conflict has plunged relations between the two nuclear powers to their lowest levels since the Cold War.

Putin said on Friday that he and Trump should meet to talk about the Ukraine war and energy prices, issues that the U.S. president has highlighted in the first days of his new administration.

Trump, who took office on January 20, told reporters on Thursday he was willing to meet Putin "immediately" to reach a deal to end the fighting.

Putin on Friday praised Trump as a "smart" and "pragmatic" man, saying the conflict might not have started in 2022 had he been president.

Kyiv has warned against it being excluded from any peace talks between the two leaders, accusing Putin of wanting to "manipulate" Trump.
