Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, states that the Kremlin reportedly is not expecting any joint document to be signed during the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
When asked whether any document was expected to be signed on the sidelines of the bilateral meeting, Peskov dismissed the idea.
"No. No document is expected to be signed, and nothing has been prepared. It's hardly possible that any document could emerge here," Peskov said.
According to him, since a joint press conference will be held after the meeting, it will outline the range of agreements and understandings the two sides have managed to reach.
