Reuters reporting comments from Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, stating that there are “no specific preparations” underway for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President-elect Donald Trump, appearing to counter Trump, who said at a press conference last week: “[Putin] wants to meet, and we are setting it up”.

  • Peskov said on a potential Putin-Trump meeting: “There is only an understanding of the political will – we shall watch the situation.”
  • On conditions for a ceasefire in Ukraine, Peskov said: “The issue of security guarantees for both Ukraine and Russia is an integral part of any possible settlement of the Ukraine conflict.”
  • On US sanctions enacted on Friday, describedby White House official Daleep Singh as “the most significant sanctions yet on Russia’s energy sector,” Peskov said: “It is clear that the United States will continue to try to undermine our companies… such decisions are bound to destabilize global energy, oil markets.”
  • Peskov added: “We will monitor the situation and configure the companies' activities… We will seek to minimise the impact of these sanctions.”
  • In a call on Friday, US President Joe Biden updatedUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on US efforts to “surge support to Ukraine and strengthen its position vis-à-vis Russia.”
  • Semafor reports that the new US sanctions “will severely curb Russian fossil fuel exports to India and China”, forcing India and China “to look to the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas for alternatives.”
