Kremlin's reaction to the imminent visit of Putin and Zelnski

The Kremlin did not find it possible until the end of August, after Kiev's proposal to hold a meeting between Ukrainian President Walodimir Zelnski and Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Mehr News Agency.

Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said Friday: A meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Waldimir Zelnski is not currently planned and can only be held as the final step in signing a peace deal.

“It is unlikely that such a meeting will be held by the end of August, as Ukraine has offered,” Peskov said. A summit can and should put the end point on an agreement and consolidate the conditions and agreements of experts. It is impossible to do this in the opposite way. Is it possible to go through such a complicated process in 7 days? Well, obviously it is unlikely.

It is said that Ukraine had offered Zelnsky and Putin last week. On the other hand, Trump has threatened to impose new sanctions against Russia and its goods buyers if it is not reached by early September.

In response to the threat, Peskov said: “It is unlikely that the situation can be organized overnight, and this requires a very complex diplomatic work.”
