Speaking to the press over the weekend, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not share any information on Putin's phone call with Trump.

He said only that "as the administration in Washington unfolds its work, many different communications arise, and these communications are conducted through different channels, and, of course, against the background of the multiplicity of these communications, I personally may not know something, be unaware of something. Therefore, in this case, I can neither confirm nor deny it."

In a subsequent press briefing, Peskov then said: "I made a statement on this matter yesterday, and I can't tell you anything else. I can neither confirm nor deny it."

Speaking about the phone call between the two leaders, U.S. national security adviser Mike Waltz said that there are currently "a lot of delicate conversations."

Discussing negotiations between Russia and the U.S., according to the Russian news outlet RIA Novosti, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said: "We are ready for dialogue, which has been said repeatedly, including being ready to discuss a settlement in Ukraine, but only on an equal, mutually acceptable basis."

He added that there is "some interaction between the foreign policy departments" but at the same time, there are "no agreed schedules for communication between Vladimir Putin and Trump today," although plans may become clear in the future.

What Happens Next

During a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on February 7, Trump said that he may meet with Zelensky in Washington next week, according to The Kyiv Independent.

Given your several detailed posts/comments about the dates and all for the meeting, it would probably be good if both the Trump administration and the Putin administration consult first with you, to see if they are getting things correct.

A favorite part of all your posted news items is the often-cited source, as " according to The Kyiv Independent."

The part where President Trump supposedly told Putin that Ukraine could annex Russian territory in its constitution?

Putin just stroked out and launched a bunch of cruise missiles at Ukraine just now. Not smart of him to antagonize President Trump.

So much for your ceasefire, eh? You should watch the one I posted this morning in it’s entirety and this one too. But I know you won’t. Putin doesn’t take bribes, btw.
