"Rossiyskaya Gazeta" reports that the Kremlin reported that the decision on the format and date of the meeting of the presidents of Russia and the United States has not yet been negotiated through diplomatic channels.

A spokesman for the Russian leader, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters: "Yesterday it was decided by diplomatic channels to begin agreeing on the possible time and format for holding such a meeting".

The representative of the Kremlin, in response to a question as to whether the date, format and composition of the meeting of the heads of state in Hamburg was agreed, said: "While there are no details, they will be determined through diplomatic channels".

As previously reported, Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump will talk at the G20 summit in Germany on July 7-8. A representative from the Kremlin said: "From the very beginning it was said that the presidents will meet in Hamburg one way or another - now it is decided to think about the time and the concrete format".

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger did not try to mediate the meeting between Putin and Trump. Peskov told reporters: "I did not try, it was not". He also did not bring messages from Trump.

Yesterday evening, June 29, Vladimir Putin spoke with Kissinger in Moscow. Peskov stressed: "This is an absolutely private meeting, Mr. Kissinger is in Moscow on the occasion of his participation in the" Primakov Readings ". He also added that the meeting was "in the course of long-standing long-standing contacts".

The presidential press secretary concluded: "Traditionally, the president and ex-secretary of state use such coincidence of schedules for holding personal meetings".
