Ukraine's top security official has welcomed the prospect of a summit between US President Joe Biden and Russian leader Vladimir Putin but warned that Kyiv must have an active role in any agreement reached by the pair, APA reports citing BBC.
"No one can resolve our issue without us," Oleksiy Danilov told a briefing. "Everything should happen with our participation."
Initial reports had suggested that Putin had agreed to meet with Biden to discuss the crisis in person.
But Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that no "concrete plans" have been put in place and added that it is "premature to talk about any specific plans for organising any kind of summit".
The White House said earlier that any proposed summit was contingent on Russia refraining from invading its western neighbour.
