Russian presidential investment envoy Kirill Dmitriev has denied that the planned meeting in Budapest was shelved

Russian President Vladimir Putin's aide Kirill Dmitriev has denied reports that plans for a meeting between Putin and US President Donald Trump in Budapest have been scrapped.

Dmitriev made his comments after multiple US outlets cited an unnamed White House official who said there were no plans for a Putin-Trump summit "in the immediate future." Some media interpreted the remark as meaning that the meeting had been canceled or postponed indefinitely.

"Media is twisting the comment about the 'immediate future' to undercut the upcoming summit. Preparations continue," Dmitriev wrote on X on Tuesday, responding to a Financial Times headline that read, "Trump and Putin cancel Budapest summit over Ukraine."

As the presidential investment envoy, Dmitriev accompanied Putin during his rare in-person meeting with Trump in Alaska in August and also took part in the US-Russia meeting in Riyadh in February.

The leaders of the US and Russia agreed during a phone call last week to meet in Hungary's capital on an unspecified date. Trump told reporters at the Oval Office on Tuesday that he had not yet "made a determination" regarding the event, adding that he did not want the summit to become "a wasted time."

Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto wrote on X that "the pro-war political elite and their media" were attempting to derail the planned Putin-Trump summit, warning of "a wave of leaks, fake news, and statements claiming that it won't happen."
