Russia on Friday said that there was a mutual understanding about the need for a meeting between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, stating that details of such an encounter had yet to be worked out.
According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the two sides agreed at talks in Riyadh this week, their first on how to end the Ukraine war before more formal negotiations that the two leaders should meet.
He said there are no specifics yet, noting that both men had said they were keen to talk in person.
“There is a desire of the two presidents, which they expressed, and there is also an instruction to prepare this meeting well so that it will be as productive as possible. It is during the preparation that all the nuances will be discussed,” Peskov said.
The US president said after the Saudi meeting on Tuesday that he would probably meet Putin before the end of the month.
Similarly, Putin said on Wednesday that the meeting needed to be carefully prepared in order to achieve results.
Then on Thursday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a Putin-Trump meeting would largely depend on whether progress could be made on ending the war, and Trump wanted to know if Putin was serious about that.
Peskov restated that Putin was open to negotiating a settlement to the conflict.
“We have our goals, connected with our national security, with our national interests, and we are ready to achieve this goals by means of peace talks,” he said.

NESREA seals popular Nasarawa spot over excessive noise pollution
The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) on Friday sealed Cyvillian Garden, a well-known relaxation hub located on Abacha Road, Mararaba, Nasarawa State, over excessive noise pollution.
The agency said the decision followed numerous complaints from residents about the facility’s noise levels, which they described as intolerable.
NESREA further revealed that the establishment failed to comply with repeated warnings and abatement notices issued to mitigate the nuisance.
Speaking on the enforcement, the Director General of NESREA, Dr. Innocent Barikor, said, “We took all necessary steps before getting to the point of sealing. Complaints from residents were investigated, and noise readings were taken at different times. These readings were significantly above the permissible limits for a residential area.”
Dr. Barikor, represented by the Director of Inspection and Enforcement, Dr. Christopher Beka, explained that the agency had made efforts to resolve the matter amicably before taking action.
“Abatement notices were subsequently issued to the facility as required by law. We also held an arbitration meeting where the facility was advised to operate within the standards set out in the National Environmental (Noise Standards and Control) Regulations, 2009,” he stated.
He emphasized the negative impact of noise pollution on health and quality of life said; “Noise pollution is a very serious issue, and we are tackling it headlong because the health of citizens is affected. It is intolerable that one would return from a hectic day at work and be unable to sleep at night because of noise. You cannot run your business or create fun for yourself at the expense of others.”
Dr. Barikor assured the public of NESREA’s commitment to ensuring a high quality of life for Nigerians through the enforcement of environmental regulations.
He also hinted at further enforcement activities across the country, aimed at addressing similar violations.
