MOSCOW - The Kremlin said on Wednesday that preparations were being made for expert-level talks between Russia and the United States to follow up on a high-level meeting last week and an earlier call between presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has made contentious remarks about world leaders, which the Kremlin criticized as 'inadmissible.' Zelenskiy accused U.S. President Trump of living in a 'disinformation bubble' and countered claims about his low popularity rating.

While the primary goal of this week's meetings is to “restore" U.S.-Russian relations, the Ukraine war will be a key point as officials sit down in Saudi Arabia.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says there is an understanding that Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin should meet in person.
