Moscow and Washington are not currently holding talks on possible dates for a first meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday.

“Specific dates of such a meeting… are not being considered at all,” Ushakov said at a briefing.

Ushakov also said that Putin is planning to take part in a meeting of leaders of the G20 countries in Germany in July.
