MOSCOW, August 14. /TASS/. Preparations for the upcoming meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump occurred under tight deadlines, yet all necessary parameters were successfully met, according to Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He also cautioned against making forecasts about the summit’s outcome, emphasizing the unpredictability of the discussions.
TASS has compiled the key statements from the Kremlin official regarding the upcoming encounter.
"Preparations for the Putin-Trump meeting took place within a very short timeframe, but all parameters were met."
The leaders are expected to discuss the Ukrainian settlement: "The matter is very complex and multifaceted." Currently, they are examining the Ukraine conflict between Russia and the US, and the Ukrainian side's perspective is considered relevant for subsequent stages of negotiations.
Russia and the US do not intend to produce any formal document based solely on the summit's discussions: "However, given that there will be a joint news conference, the president will outline the range of agreements and understandings that can be achieved." Peskov cautioned against attempting to predict the summit's outcome, calling such efforts "a big mistake": "Let's see how the conversation unfolds."
