Kremlin dismisses likelihood of Zelensky-Trump-Putin summit anytime soon

According to Ukrinform, BBC Russian Service reported this with reference to Russian news agencies.

“Frankly speaking, it’s hardly likely in the near future, because President Putin has repeatedly emphasized his readiness for high-level contacts, while also stressing that such contacts should result from agreements already reached at the technical and expert level,” said Peskov.

He also stated that any potential compromises from the Russian side on the points of the "memorandum" are subjects for negotiation, which cannot be conducted publicly.

The Kremlin spokesman added that some agreements were reached in Istanbul, but urged against expecting immediate decisions.

“The work will continue. We are awaiting a reaction to the memorandum text that was passed on,” Peskov noted.

As Ukrinform reported, on June 2, the second round of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia concluded in Istanbul.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed support for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's initiative to hold a joint meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday that U.S. President Donald Trump is open to a meeting with both Putin and Zelensky.
