Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump shook hands for the first time on Friday and confirmed a subsequent meeting, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"Yes, they shook hands and told each other that they will soon hold a separate meeting, that they will see each other soon," Peskov told reporters.
Witnesses described the two leaders' highly-anticipated first meeting on the sidelines of the Group of 20 (G20) summit in Hamburg earlier in the day, saying Putin and Trump greeted each other and sat at the same table awaiting the start of the summit.
G20 summit is an annual event gathering the heads of governments and states of 20 major economies to discuss and promote financial stability around the globe, as well as some other pressing issues.
