China News Agency, Moscow, April 25. Russian Presidential Assistant Ushakov said on the 25th that Russian President Putin and US President Biden may meet in June.
The Russian "Channel One" TV station aired an interview with Ushakov that day.
Ushakov made the above remarks in the interview.
He said that the US has received its signal of hope that the leaders of the two countries will meet, but the final decision depends on many factors.
The meeting between Putin and Biden may be in June, and there is even a "specific date."
But Ushakov did not disclose the specific date.
On March 18, Putin proposed an online open dialogue with Biden, after which Biden expressed his belief that he would have a talk with Putin "at some point."
During the call between the two sides on April 13, Biden proposed to hold a summit with Putin in a third country to discuss bilateral relations.
Since then, Biden said that he has proposed to hold a summit with Putin in Europe this summer.
The relations between Russia and the United States have been tense recently.
Since Biden took office, the two sides have achieved limited cooperation in the field of arms control. However, there have been clear differences and intensified confrontation on issues such as Ukraine, cyber security, human rights, and election interference.
On April 15th, the United States imposed sanctions on Russia and expelled 10 Russian diplomats on the grounds of interfering in the US election and carrying out cyber attacks on the United States.
The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on the 21st the expulsion of 10 US diplomats in response.
