【Peskov: The Summit Between Russian, US, and Ukrainian Leaders Will Only Take Place When the Final Agreement Is Finalized】On February 25, Kremlin Spokesman Peskov stated that the possibility of organizing a meeting between Zelenskyy and Russian President Putin seems unclear, following Zelenskyy's firm statements on key issues between Russia and Ukraine, where he claimed he could not reach a compromise with Russia.
He said that currently, Kyiv is not committed to seeking a peaceful solution but rather trying to secure as much European funding as possible. A trilateral meeting between Putin, former US President Trump, and Zelenskyy will only be possible when "the agreement is finalized" - and at present, this stage is still far away.
Peskov told Russian journalist Pavel Zarubin during an interview that, given Zelenskyy's recent remarks, it is unlikely to arrange a meeting between him and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He said, "If the Kiev regime continues to maintain such a position, would it make sense to hold a high-level meeting?"
Peskov confirmed that territorial issues remain the most complex topic in negotiations. He pointed out that any dialogue between heads of state must be preceded by serious and detailed preparatory work at the expert level. Russian, Ukrainian, and US presidents are only worthy of meeting when the "final agreement is reached - or as Americans say, a deal is made."
"As for the Kiev regime, I think all their efforts at the moment are not aimed at finding a peaceful solution, but rather at finding a way to 'distribute European funds.' They have to get these billions of euros no matter what. This is where they are truly focusing their efforts," Peskov said.
The Russian president's press secretary also emphasized that the previous invitation to Zelenskyy to visit Moscow remains valid: "This is what Putin said, and he always keeps his word." Ukraine #Zelenskyy
