The Kremlin on Sunday declined to confirm or deny that Russian President Vladimir Putin had spoken with President Donald Trump, after the New York Post cited the US leader saying they’d discussed the war in Ukraine on a phone call.

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump have yet to discuss a possible meeting, CNN quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying.

US President Donald Trump claimed to have spoken with Putin about ending the Ukraine war, but the Kremlin has not confirmed this communication.

Russia said that discussions with Washington were underway regarding potential peace talks to end the war nearly three years after Moscow’s full-scale invasion.

President Donald Trump announced in an interview published Saturday that he has spoken with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Kremlin on Sunday declined to confirm or deny a US report of a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Peskov previously several times denied reports of conversations between Trump and Putin before the US leader's return to the presidency.
