Russian President Vladimir Putin is comfortable holding a one-on-one meeting with US President Donald Trump at their upcoming summit in Helsinki, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says.
Peskov says, "President Putin feels absolutely comfortable in all formats that are comfortable for his interlocutors" and the Kremlin "doesn't rule out" such a meeting.
Putin may start the summit with a meeting with Trump if Washington confirms that, Peskov told reporters on a conference call.
The Kremlin said Putin did not plan to meet US politicians who are visiting Russia this week.
A US congressional delegation was in Moscow on Tuesday meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian parliamentarians.
Relations between Russia and the US have sunk to their lowest point in decades amid US sanctions over Russian meddling in the 2016 US election and Russia's action in Ukraine.
