The Kremlin said on Thursday that no decision had been taken ⁠yet on a ⁠possible summit in December between Russian and US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and that ⁠it was too early to talk about the agenda for such a meeting.

The United States invited Putin to a December G20 meeting in Miami, Florida where he could hold a summit with Trump, US Secretary of State Marco ⁠Rubio ⁠said on Wednesday.

Asked what the two presidents might discuss, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters: "It is premature to speak about this right now. No decision has been made yet. We certainly appreciate ⁠this kind invitation, we value it, and it will be reviewed and coordinated, after which an appropriate decision will be reached."

Trump has been trying since returning to the White ⁠House ‌in January ‌last year to broker an ⁠end to the ‌war in Ukraine, but without achieving a breakthrough.

Peskov reiterated ⁠Russia's position that it ⁠is seeking a peace settlement, not ⁠a temporary ceasefire.
