Russian President's spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the Kremlin "is analysing the issue of the meeting of the two presidents [of Russia and the US]", speaking with journalists on the phone on Thursday.

Peskov also called the recent talks between Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken a "positive signal".

"The fact of the conversation, which, as Lavrov said, was constructive, is also an event that deserves a positive assessment. But, obviously, this process will not be easy. Indeed, a lot of problems have accumulated. But, at least, the talks between the Russian Minister and the US Secretary of State (Anthony Blinken) that took place in Reykjavik yesterday will certainly help in the analysis that is currently being conducted in Moscow on the issue of a meeting between the two presidents," said Peskov.

He added that contacts were made to prepare for a "hypothetical" meeting of the Presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky.

"Indeed, there are certain outlines of possibilities for discussion. The process is not easy, not easy. The outlines are made with wide strokes yet. More conceptual, not substantive," - Peskov said.

Earlier it was reported that the deputy head of the Russian presidential administration Dmitry Kozak was in constant contact with the office of the Ukrainian leader.

It was also noted that Zelensky instructed the head of his office, Andrei Yermak, to organise the negotiations.
