"There is no summit scheduled yet... But we are going to continue to engage with the Russian side. Any time there is an opportunity to engage with them, we are going to do so," Rubio told reporters after his talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov when asked if there are plans for a possible meeting between the presidents."We are going to continue to engage and talk, and if we see opportunities to make progress on peace, we want to be involved in pursuing that. Obviously, Mr. Lavrov is here today. We had an opportunity to discuss some things, and I thought it was important and good. We talked, and we shared some information and ideas that I intend to take back to the president," Rubio said, adding that he hopes that the talks' outcome can lead to "something positive."On Wednesday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that he was confident that a personal meeting between Putin and Trump is needed to establish peace in Ukraine.Last week, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with the state of affairs in the Ukraine settlement and expressed the opinion that he was unable to achieve progress during his telephone conversation with Putin. The two leaders had a phone call on July 3. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the US leader's words about the lack of progress on Ukraine, said that Moscow was paying close attention to all of Trump's statements.

He added that "at the end of the day," Russia and the United States have to have a relationship, as they are "two important countries in the world."
"We are going to continue to engage and talk, and if we see opportunities to make progress on peace, we want to be involved in pursuing that. Obviously, Mr. Lavrov is here today.
