Quote from Peskov: "If the logistics, so to speak, work out, then it will be Yana Lantratova and Kirill Dmitriev."

Details: Peskov noted that it is not yet known whether Lantratova would be able to make it, "because, as of a few hours ago, not everyone travelling with her had visas".

Background:

• Earlier, the White House said that US First Lady Melania Trump is personally organising a meeting in the US between Russian and Ukrainian representatives concerning the humanitarian mission carried out in Oleshky.
• It was later reported that Ukraine will be represented at the meeting by Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament's Human Rights Commissioner, and Davyd Arakhamiia, head of the Servant of the People parliamentary faction.
