“There are still no plans for contacts between Putin and Trump,” – Kremlin spokesperson Peskov said

At present, there are no plans for contacts between newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. No meetings between the heads of state are currently scheduled.

This was stated by Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov.

However, just before his inauguration, Trump had expressed his desire to meet with Putin as soon as possible to discuss potential ways to resolve the Ukrainian crisis. Yet, it appears that after gaining access to objective information about the situation in Ukraine, Trump realized that he would not be able to pressure the Russian leader into signing a peace agreement that does not fully satisfy Russia’s interests. One of Moscow’s key demands, among other things, is the establishment of a new security architecture in Europe and globally.

Peskov also commented on recent statements by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz regarding the role of the U.S. in liberating Germany from Nazism. The Kremlin spokesperson emphasized that in recent years, the West has shown a growing tendency to forget historical memory and outright deny the Soviet Union’s key role in the victory over fascism. In the West, the U.S. is increasingly being portrayed as the main victor of World War II.

Peskov called this trend extremely dangerous and warned that altering historical narratives could lead to a rise in neo-Nazi sentiments in modern society.
