TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A phone conversation between the Russian and US presidents, Vladimir Putin and Joe Biden, has not been scheduled yet, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Thursday.

"So far, there are no discussions on that score," Peskov said, answering a question if there were any plans to hold new phone contacts between the Russian and US leaders in the near future, TASS reported.
