Russian President Vladimir Putin says he reached "understandings" with US President Donald Trump over the end of the Ukraine war at their meeting in Alaska last month.
But he did not say whether he would agree to peace talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky brokered by Trump, who had apparently given Monday as a deadline for Putin's response.
Speaking during a summit in China, Putin continued to defend his decision to invade Ukraine, once again blaming the West for the war.
Putin was speaking in Tianjin at the Shanghai Co-operation Organisation summit, where he met Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi.
He thanked the Chinese and Indian leaders for their support and their efforts to "facilitate the resolution of the Ukrainian crisis".
China and India are the biggest buyers of Russian crude oil, attracting criticism from the West that they are propping up the Russian economy which has been battered by the war effort.
