The Kremlin said there are “no concrete plans” yet for a summit between the U.S. and Russian presidents, casting doubt on earlier statements from Washington and Paris that a deal had been reached in principle for a meeting to ease tensions around Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov didn’t rule out the possibility of a summit if the two leaders decided one was necessary. Specific plans have been set only for a meeting at the foreign-minister level, he said. President Vladimir Putin will hold a special meeting of his Security Council Monday, Peskov said, declining to comment on the subject.
