Kremlin says no dates set for U.S. talks but insists it's not holding up Ukraine peace push

The Kremlin denied Tuesday that it was holding up President Donald Trump’s push to end the war in Ukraine ahead of possible talks with Vladimir Putin.

The Kremlin denied Tuesday that it was holding up President Donald Trump’s latest push to end the war in Ukraine, and insisted it had not changed its demands ahead of possible talks.

Trump had announced that Russia and the United States' top diplomats would meet this week, with his own summit with Vladimir Putin to follow in Budapest, Hungary.

Russian officials have now said there was no date set for either meeting.

“We cannot postpone what has not been agreed upon,” Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told Russia's TASS state news agency early Tuesday.

He was responding to a CNN report that the meeting between Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had been put on hold indefinitely.
