Details: Ushakov said there are "no benchmarks" regarding the timing of the Trump-Putin meeting.

"But general readiness to hold the meeting, if it is thoroughly prepared by experts in advance, remains," he added.

Ushakov also pointed out that the Alaska summit in August 2025 was organised fairly quickly.

• Putin, commenting on Trump's statement about cancelling the bilateral meeting in Budapest, mentioned its possible "postponement".
