The White House on Thursday pushed back on claims by the Kremlin that a meeting between President Donald Trump and Russia's Vladimir Putin had been agreed to with a location secured.

A White House official told ABC News that no location has been set and that President Putin must meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the meeting with Trump to occur -- something the Kremlin has not been willing to commit to so far.

Putin adviser Yuri Ushakov said earlier Thursday that a "meeting between Putin and Trump (will take place) in the coming days," adding that "work on the summit has now begun," the Kremlin said.

Ushakov said that White House special envoy Steve Witkoff had raised the idea of a trilateral meeting between Putin, Trump and Zelenskyy but that the upcoming meeting would only be between Trump and Putin, the Kremlin said.
