Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said the Kremlin leader promised a "sudden response" not only to possible Tomahawk missile deliveries but also to any attempted attack deep inside the country. He called the Russian president's statement "eloquent."
The Kremlin spokesman also characterized the negotiation process with Ukraine as a prolonged pause caused by the reluctance of the "Kiev regime" to intensify the negotiation process.
What did he say about the Putin-Trump meeting?
Peskov said Putin and Trump were still considering a future meeting and denied claims that the Budapest summit had been canceled.
"It's hard to break off something for which there was no specific agreement. Neither Trump nor Putin wants to meet just for the sake of meeting. For their meeting to be productive, the work must be done at the level set by the Russian Foreign Minister and the US Secretary of State."
Yes, President Trump has stated that he has stopped considering the possibility of holding a summit for the time being.
"However, over the past two days, he has repeated several times that he does not rule out holding such a summit in the future. President Putin shares this view," the Kremlin spokesman said.
Peskov added that Russia will respond to new Western sanctions in accordance with its national interests.
