Joe Biden

, to sit down at the negotiating table.

The Kremlin emphasizes that there are currently no contacts between the two states on this topic.

This was stated by Kremlin spokesman Dmytro Peskov, Russian ZMP reports.

According to him, Moscow and Washington are not currently conducting any negotiations regarding the possibility of a meeting between Putin and Biden, as well as the situation in Ukraine.

"Any conflict ends at the negotiating table. Of course, first of all, it is about ending the "special military operation" as soon as possible by achieving the goals set by the Russian Federation," Peskov said. 

Putin's representative also said that they heard President Volodymyr Zelenskyi's statements about a peaceful settlement in Moscow.

However, "they were made without taking into account current realities."
