- Good day, Mr. Putin. Aleksandr Yunoshev from Life. Due to mass protests and disturbances in Chile the APEC summit was canceled. You could've met Donald Trump there. When and where will you have another chance to meet the American leader? And considering his positive response to your inviting him to Russia on May 9th, is it possible to hold full-scale negotiations in Moscow, or to meet him sometime earlier? Thank you.
Vladimir Putin: "No meeting is planned yet. As for May 9th in Moscow, if the US president makes a decision and will be able to come, considering the election campaign that has started in the USA. And I think that a visit to commemorate the anniversary of the end of WWII for the leader of the country that made a significant contribution to fighting Nazism would be the right step to make even as part of the election campaign. It's not for us to decide, but if the US president comes, we'll surely meet in Moscow and hold talks.
And the scale doesn't depend on the pompousness with which any meeting is organized. It depends on sincerity and desire to start discussing the key points of bilateral relations. We're ready for this. If the USA is also ready for this, then in this sense and in this case successful negotiations are possible".
