The news lets the Russian and Chinese media know, which, however, gives no details about the conversation between the two leaders.
Meanwhile, it remains a mystery where Trump and Putin will meet. Rome may be considered, reports “Fox News” cites sources aware of negotiations.
But the news conflicts with Russian media reports, under which the head of the Kremlin does not want the meeting, envisioned for the first days of next week, to be held in Europe.
According to the news agency “Tass”, Putin has declared that the United Arab Emirates may be the right destination.
Meanwhile, a day before the ultimatum expired, President Donald Trump expressed more moderate the sanctions he had warned of Russia.
“Everything is up to him, to see what it means, said Trump referring to Putin.
The meeting between the presidents of the United States and Russia was announced the day before by Russian presidential adviser for foreign policy Yuri Usakov.
He underlined that the meeting would take place at the request of the American side, which was later denied by the White House, which communicated that the meeting took place at the request of the Kremlin.
