The Kremlin sets strict conditions for Putin-Zelensky meeting<\/b> insisting on final agreement while Ukraine<\/b> pushes for resumption of negotiations<\/b>.<\/p>\n
At a time of heightened diplomatic tension<\/b> around the war in Ukraine<\/b>, the Kremlin<\/b> comes back with a clear message about the framework under which a possible summit<\/b> between Vladimir Putin<\/b> and Vladimir Zelensky<\/b> could take place. The Russian side clarifies that such contact cannot be of an exploratory or symbolic nature<\/b>, but will only be considered once a substantive basis<\/b> for an agreement on the cessation of hostilities<\/b> has already been formed. At the same time, Kiev is attempting to bring the negotiation process<\/b> back to the forefront by seeking international mediation<\/b>, which highlights the continuing distance between the two sides<\/b> as to the manner and timing of a possible political settlement<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Russian President Vladimir Putin<\/b> could meet with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky<\/b>, only in order to finalize the details of a possible agreement<\/b> to terminate the war<\/b>, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov<\/b> said today, according to Russian news agencies<\/b>.<\/p>\nOnly to be finalized<\/h3>\n
“The key issue is the goal of such a meeting. Why should they meet? Putin has said he is ready for a meeting in Moscow at any time,” Peskov told Russian television, according to TASS.<\/p>\n
“There must be a reason for them to meet” and “the meeting should be productive,” he continued. “It can only be about finalizing (details of a) deal,” Peskov stressed.<\/p>\n
