The Kremlin expects the US to inform Russia about the results of the US-Ukrainian talks in Jeddah, and does not rule out a telephone conversation between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, said Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the head of the Russian state. As a result of the talks between the American and Ukrainian sides in Saudi Arabia, Kyiv agreed to a 30-day truce in the conflict in Ukraine. EPA-EFE/SERGEI ILNITSKY U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed a possible prisoner exchange involving nine people from each side during a phone call on Monday.
Asked for an update, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that what he called "the appropriate government agencies" from both sides were in touch with each other on the issue.
A source close to the Kremlin has told Reuters that the U.S. side had previously provided Moscow with a list of nine Americans jailed in Russia that Washington wants returned.
