"We hope that the consultations, which are scheduled for Monday, will be productive," Ushakov stressed.
The Russian delegation will be headed by Senator Grigory Karasin and FSB Director's Advisor Sergei Beseda. According to Ushakov, the American team has also been formed.
Earlier, Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that another meeting in Saudi Arabia would take place in the near future. The main topic of discussion will be Russia's war against Ukraine, but there will be other issues as well.
"It may not be this Sunday. The final details are being agreed upon now. It's the beginning of next week. The very beginning - it will become known. But we are really talking about the coming days," Peskov said.
Asked whether the main topic of the negotiations would be Russia's war against Ukraine, Peskov answered in the affirmative, but stressed that there were many related nuances that required separate discussion.
"Yes, indeed, because the presidents are also talking about the restoration of the Black Sea Initiative. There are also many nuances that should be taken into account," Putin's spokesman said.
He stressed that sufficient experience has already been gained in the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative. He also added that there are other aspects related to the "Ukrainian settlement" that the parties will want to discuss.
