Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, did not specify how many contacts the Russian president has had with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko or when the most recent one took place.

Putin and Petroshenko met in Berlin in the fall of 2016 as part of a four-way summit aimed at resolving the conflict in eastern Ukraine, where a war with Russia-backed separatists has killed more than 10,000 people in the past three years.
