MOSCOW (Sputnik) - It is too early to talk about a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump at the G20 summit in the United States, a decision has not yet been made, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday.
On Putin-Trump Meeting
"It is too early to talk about this, no decision has been made yet," Peskov told reporters when asked about a possible meeting between the heads of Russia and the United States at the G20 summit.
Russia appreciates the US invitation to Putin to participate in the G20 summit, it will be worked out, Peskov added.
On Ukraine
Russia is open to a peaceful settlement in Ukraine, Moscow advocates for peace, not for a temporary truce, Dmitry Peskov said.
"As for a ceasefire, we repeat once again that we are open to a peaceful settlement process, but we believe that it is peace that should be strived for, not a temporary truce. Our position has not changed," Peskov told reporters.
The issue of prisoners is under the jurisdiction of the Russian Defense Ministry and special services, and contacts between Russia and Ukraine through the special services are continuing.
During a media briefing, Peskov was asked if the Kremlin had information about the transfer of two captured North Korean soldiers by Ukraine to South Korea, as well as about possible contacts between Ukraine, Russia and North Korea on this issue.

On Armenia
Russia respects Armenia’s sovereign rights, but Yerevan needs to make a choice between the EU and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Dmitry Peskov said.
Armenia is a participant in the EAEU integration process, and a gradual shift towards other standards will not align with EAEU standards in various fields, the spokesman said, adding that Russia respects "all of Armenia"s sovereign rights."

The dates of Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s visit to Moscow have not yet been agreed upon, there is an understanding that it will take place in the near future, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"The date has not yet been precisely agreed upon, but there is still an understanding and an agreement between the president [of Russia, Vladimir Putin] and the [Armenian] prime minister that such a visit will take place in the near future," Peskov told reporters.
