CNN reports that officials are speeding up plans for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. According to sources familiar with the matter, teams from both countries have started preparing for a second round of talks aimed at rebuilding Russia-US relations. These discussions could happen within the next few weeks, following Trump's criticism of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky during their February 28 White House meeting.
The two leaders previously spoke by telephone on February 12. After that call, Russian officials announced Putin and Trump had decided to stay in personal contact and eventually meet face-to-face. Russian Presidential Aide Yury Ushakov told reporters on February 18 that both sides have not yet decided on a specific date for the meeting.
