"There is no special plan. The meeting in Helsinki is currently being prepared. This is a serious preparation, you know. Many people are waiting for this meeting," Peskov told journalists when he was asked if Russia planned to invite Trump to the World Cup final match ahead of the Helsinki meeting.

Peskov added that no special invitations were needed.

"No special invitations are needed. You know... that Moscow will welcome any head of state, any government member, any monarch," he said.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off on June 14 and will continue until July 15, with the matches being played in 11 cities across Russia.
