Russia, US analyse outcome of Riyadh talks

MOSCOW - Russian and the United States are analysing the outcome of talks between their officials in Saudi Arabia on Monday after the delegations reported back to their capitals, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

The two countries have said the talks in Riyadh were focused on a proposal for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the Black Sea. Peskov said the content of the negotiations would not be published.

There are currently no plans for a conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, but such a conversation could be promptly organised if needed, Peskov said.

When the two leaders spoke last week, Putin declined a proposal by Trump for a full 30-day ceasefire in Ukraine but agreed to a moratorium on attacking energy infrastructure.
