A regular briefing by the Kremlin's press office addressed two topics drawing public attention this week: President Vladimir Putin's birthday and the prospects for renewed contact between Moscow and Washington, according to TASS.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov fielded questions from reporters on both subjects, though no new details were disclosed about a firm date, format or agenda for any meeting or call between Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, TASS reported.
The briefing comes amid periodic speculation in Russian and international media about the state of communication between the two leaders, who have both signaled at various points an openness to dialogue even as relations between their countries remain strained.
TASS did not report further specifics from the briefing beyond the two topics addressed. Any additional details on a potential Putin-Trump conversation would likely be confirmed separately by either government.
