Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov Sets Condition for Putin-Trump-Zelensky Summit: Agreements Must Be Finalized

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that a summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would only occur after agreements have been finalized. The meeting would be for signing pre-established agreements, not preliminary discussions. The Kremlin accused Kyiv of avoiding diplomatic solutions and defended the continuation of the Russian invasion.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that a three-way meeting between Putin, Trump, and Zelenskyy is possible only to 'formalize agreements' or 'fixing agreements,' according to multiple outlets including Meduza, Kyiv Independent, and Tass. The process is described as 'very complicated' with 'a huge number of details.' Some sources, like Infobae, added that Peskov accused Kyiv of not seeking diplomatic solutions and defended the ongoing invasion. A CIA source, John Ratcliff, reportedly proposed the meeting during a visit to Moscow, according to Vijesti, though other outlets did not specify the origin of the proposal.
