Quote from Peskov: "Hypothetically speaking, such a meeting is possible, but at this point there is no need for it. What is needed now is very meticulous work on the details of the settlement issue."

Background:

• In October, Trump cancelled a planned meeting with Putin in Budapest, saying he was disappointed with the pace of negotiations with Russia.
• Putin himself, commenting on Trump's announcement that the bilateral meeting had been cancelled, said it had likely been "postponed".
• Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó accused the "pro-war political elite" of trying to derail the Budapest meeting.
