Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told CNN’s Matthew Chance in an exclusive interview on Friday that Russia is not expecting a joint press conference at the end of Putin-Biden summit in Geneva set to take place next Wednesday.

However, the Kremlin said negotiations are continuing on the final format of the summit and no final decision has been reached.

“We heard about such a possibility from our American counterparts, but we are still waiting for final confirmation but since the very beginning President Putin has been open to any alternatives,” Peskov said. Peskov told CNN Putin is ready to participate in a joint press conference or hold one of his own in Geneva.

Peskov added Putin is not going to Geneva just to appear on the same platform as Biden but because “the poor state of relations” between the US and Russia demands a summit.

Earlier today, CNN reported that Biden and Putin are not currently expected to hold a joint press conference following their high-stakes summit in Geneva, according two US officials familiar with the matter said.

The final plans are still being formulated, and could change. But officials putting together the day's events said that as of Friday no joint press conference was expected.
