On Friday (22) of the Russian Foreign Minister, he declared on Friday (22) that “there is no scheduled meeting” between the Russian presidents Vladimir Putin and the Ukrainian, Volodymyr Zelensky, intensifying diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the conflict in Ukraine. “There is no planned meeting, Putin is willing to meet Zelensky when the agenda of this summit is ready. And this agenda is absolutely not ready,” Lavrov said in an interview with NBC.
On Friday (22) of the Russian Foreign Minister, he declared on Friday (22) that “there is no scheduled meeting” between the Russian presidents Vladimir Putin and the Ukrainian, Volodymyr Zelensky, intensifying diplomatic efforts to find a solution to the conflict in Ukraine. “There is no planned meeting, Putin is willing to meet Zelensky when the agenda of this summit is ready. And this agenda is absolutely not ready,” Lavrov said in an interview with NBC.
For the researcher Samantha de Berden of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, Organization of Political Studies in London, there will be no meeting. Only the United States and the West expected this meeting, but Russia has never changed: “There was absolutely no change in the speech. The media and the international community believed in Trump’s words when he said: I managed to convince Putin to meet Zelensky. RFI.
The greatest sign given by the Russians was that perhaps the meetings between Russians and Ukrainians had to occur at a higher level. But the Russians have not changed their tone, nor their requests. There have been many movements: they mobilized heads of state, journalists. Trump has praised himself several times. The reality is that nothing has changed. The only certainty is that Ukrainian civilians continue to die in Russian attacks. This is their “thanks” for the meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, says the expert.
The President of the United States Donald Trump, who wishes to close the Russian attack as quickly as possible in Ukraine in 2022, announced that he was preparing a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents, but their participation still seems uncertain.
Berden’s Samantha believes that “Putin would like this meeting if he could control all the parameters. But he does not control all the parameters, because now the Europeans begin to show a little firmness. This does not like it. He sees that Zelensky is not willing to yield.
Ukraine accused of not wanting a “equitable and lasting solution”
According to Serguei Lavrov, Washington would like the countries involved in the conflict to accept “various principles” for a future agreement, including the non -adhesion of Ukraine to NATO and the discussion on territorial exchanges. But “Zelensky said” no “to all this”, Lavrov accused.
This week Lavrov had already accused Kiev of not wanting a “right and lasting solution” to the conflict and said that Europeans were “very clumsy attempts” to convince Trump to continue riding Ukrainian.
Cremlin agrees, in principle, with a meeting between Putin and Zelensky, but wants this to happen in the final phase of the peace negotiations between the two countries. However, the positions of both sides remain irreconcilable.
Zelensky, in turn, has declared several times in the last months of being willing to meet Putin, despite a decree that has signed by 2022 that it prohibited any negotiation with the Russian president.
Trump says that collecting Putin and Zelensky is like mixing “oil and vinegar”
Donald Trump also seems to have abandoned the idea of ​​a bilateral meeting. The President of the United States said that collecting Putin and Zelensky is like mixing “oil and vinegar”.
“Let’s see if Putin and Zelensky will work together. You know, it’s a bit like oil and vinegar. They don’t get along very well for obvious reasons,” Trump explained during a short conversation with journalists.
The President of the United States disapproved that Russia attacked an American factory in Ukraine and the continuation of the war in the country. “I’m not happy with it and I’m not happy with everything that involves the war,” Trump replied when he was asked of a Russian attack on Thursday (21) who has widely destroyed an American society in the city of Mukachevo in Western Ukraine.
“There is a lot of hatred,” he added. “But we’ll see what happens. I think we will know in which direction I am going in two weeks,” concluded Trump.
As for a summit between Putin and Zelensky, Russia repeated the same message for four days. With each declaration, the Russian authorities become more direct, but they continue to send exactly the same official message: yes, the Russian president could eventually consider a meeting with Zelensky; And no, it would only happen after the organization of the details of an agreement to cease the fighting.
