Kremlin pours cold water on summit plan for Biden, Putin on Ukraine

Russia struck down potential plans for a meeting between President Biden and President Vladimir Putin — warning Monday it is too early to discuss holding a summit on the Ukraine crisis.

“It’s premature to talk about any specific plans for organizing any kind of summits,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

“There is an understanding that dialogue should be continued at the level of foreign ministers,” he said, adding that there are “no concrete plans in place” for a presidential summit.

“If necessary, of course, the Russian and American presidents can decide to hold a telephone call or connect via other methods,” Peskov said. “A meeting is possible if the heads of state consider it appropriate.”
