Russian President Vladimir Putin is open for any contacts, including with US President Joe Biden, but there have been no talks between Moscow and Washington on this issue as of yet, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday, APA reports citing TASS.
US President Biden earlier told TASS that it was possible for him to hold talks with Putin on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Brazil this November.
"There have been no talks on this issue and as of today, at this moment, there are no prerequisites for it," Peskov said. "However, the [Russian] president repeatedly stated that he remained open for all contacts."
On October 3, US President Biden didn not rule out a possible meeting with Russian President Putin at the upcoming summits of the Group of 20 or the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, but expressed doubt that the Russian leader would be in attendance.
