We have nothing else to say for now,» Peskov told reporters, adding that the Kremlin proceeds from Trump’s words.No work is currently underway to organize a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and the US president, Peskov said.»No work is underway so far. It is early,» Peskov told reporters, adding that Putin does not plan any contacts with outgoing President Joe Biden.Any meeting between presidents must be well-prepared, the official said, adding that behind each meeting there is a lot of work at the expert level.AnalysisTrump’s Election Win: How Will It Change the World?Yesterday, 10:59 GMTA presidential election took place in the United States on November 5.
