On Monday, the Kremlin said that there is currently no reason for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Reuters reports.
Asked about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s offer to mediate peace talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on a conference call that Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyi could meet only after negotiators from both sides “do their homework.”
Negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv have been deadlocked for months, with each side blaming the other for the lack of progress.
“The Ukrainian delegation has disappeared from the radar, there is no negotiation process now,” Peskov said on Monday.
“As for the meeting between Presidents Putin and Zelensky, it is possible only after both delegations have completed all their homework. This is not the case, so there are no prerequisites for the meeting,” said Peskov.
