Head of Russian Security Council Nikolay Patrushev and US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan also spoke over phone about the preparation of a new presidential meeting, Dmitry Peskov told reporters at a daily briefing in Moscow.

According to the spokesman, there is currently no information about possible dates for a meeting between the two leaders.
