MOSCOW, Sept 24 (Reuters) - ‌The Kremlin ​said ​on Thursday that no decision had been taken yet on a ‌possible summit in December between Russian and ⁠US Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, and ‌that it was too ‌early to talk about the agenda for such a meeting.

The United States invited ​Putin to a December G20 meeting in Miami, Florida where he could hold ⁠a summit with Trump, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio ​said on Wednesday.

Asked what the two presidents might discuss, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry ​Peskov told reporters: "It is premature ‌to speak about this right now. No decision has been made ⁠yet. We certainly appreciate this kind invitation, we value it, and it will be reviewed ⁠and coordinated, after which an appropriate decision will ​be reached."

Trump has been trying since returning to the White House in January last year to broker ‌an end to the war in Ukraine, but without achieving a ‌breakthrough.

Peskov reiterated Russia's position that it is ⁠seeking a peace ‌settlement, not a ​temporary ceasefire.
