The idea of a meeting between Vladimir Putin and VolodyMyr Zelensky was mentioned with an increasingly large insistence. On August 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin had “committed to President (Donald) Trump” to meet his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, Emmanuel Macron recalled.
But, such a summit “is not planned,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov this Friday, August 22. “Putin is ready to meet Zelensky when the agenda of this summit is ready. And this agenda is not absolutely ready,” he said.
If this bilateral meeting is not celebrated on Monday, “I think that once again, that will mean that President Putin will have played by President Trump” and “cannot remain unanswered,” said Emmanuel Macron.
Volodymyr Zelensky has said it on numerous occasions in recent months ready to meet his Russian counterpart, despite a decree he signed in 2022 that prohibits any negotiation with Vladimir Putin.
