The information about the invitation comes from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. He told reporters in Moscow that Russia is now trying to "clarify" with Washington what applies to the invitation.
Over the weekend, the White House announced several names that will be included in the so-called peace council, which is part of phase two of the ceasefire between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas in Gaza.
The council already includes U.S. Senator Marco Rubio, President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff and World Bank President Ajay Banga, according to the White House. Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has also agreed to join the council.
On Saturday, Argentine President Javier Milei said he had been asked to sit on the council. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Canadian former central banker Mark Carney are also said to have been asked, according to media reports.
The list is controversial, especially in light of Russia's ongoing war of aggression in Ukraine, a war that Trump and his associates have tried to broker peace in.
