Foundation of agreements on Ukraine needed for Putin-Zelensky meeting, Kremlin says
A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will be possible provided the parties reach agreements to settle the situation, but this "is not on the agenda yet," Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with the daily Izvestiya on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum on Tuesday, TASS reported.
"As for a Putin-Zelensky meeting, nothing has changed. Nobody needs a meeting for meeting’s sake," Peskov said.
"For such a meeting to take place, and for the very idea of such a meeting to be on the agenda, certain work needs to be done to build the foundation of agreements that can be asserted at the highest level. But this is not on the agenda yet," he noted.
