An imminent summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is unrealistic for Russia.
According to Moscow, the conditions for the bilateral summit have not been met. "Putin is ready to meet with Zelensky after an agenda for the summit has been prepared, and this agenda is far from complete," Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told the American television network NBC.
Lavrov now said that issues that need to be resolved before such a meeting include territorial concessions and Ukraine's renunciation of membership in the Western military alliance, NATO.
Trump again mentions sanctions against Moscow
US President Donald Trump had called for such a meeting to end Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine. Moscow has so far been vague on the issue. But Trump has also dashed hopes for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky, and has recently raised the possibility of sanctions.
He will make a major decision about his efforts to bring peace to Ukraine within two weeks, Trump said at the White House. It could be massive sanctions against Moscow — or he will “do nothing,” Trump stressed.
Earlier in the meeting with European leaders at the White House, Trump had said that "we'll see if Putin and Zelensky work together." "You know, it's a little bit like oil and vinegar. They don't get along very well with each other, for reasons that are well known."/ DW
