There are no no concrete plans for a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in a call with journalists on Monday.
Biden has agreed in principle to talks, brokered by French President Emmanuel Macron, but the White House said Sunday it will go ahead only "if an invasion hasn't happened."
A substantive understanding has been reached that it is necessary to continue dialogue at the ministers level. It is too early to talk about concrete plans for organising summits, Peskov said during his briefing.
Of course, we do not rule out that, if necessary, the presidents of Russia and US can make a decision at any time to have contacts, by telephone or in person. It will be their decision, Peskov added.

*GOP excepted, of course.
I am so glad Biden is our president.
