"High probability": People's Deputy replied when the meeting of Zelensky, Trump and Putin

In his view, the best option would be to meet three presidents with the participation of European leaders. Venislavsky noted that before meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump announced a certain order of negotiations: the first meeting in Putin Trump format, the second in the Trump-Zelensky format, and the third summit should already take place with the participation of Zelensky, Putin and Trump.

"I think that just before the end of this month, by the end of August, for the next 10 days, we have a high probability that such a meeting will take place," the People's Deputy said. As for whether the parties can reach the agreements, Venislavsky noted that the positions of Ukraine and the Russian Federation are "slightly different from the sequence of actions".

If the Ukrainian side and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky is constantly saying that in order to conduct peace talks and discuss the format of a peace agreement, it is necessary to stop the fighting, then the Russian side and Vladimir Putin want to first sign documents and then stop the fire.

"It is very difficult to talk about some concessions, compromises, when permanent fighting or constant fighting, and one or another territory, we see for the construction of our General Staff and the Institute of War Study, periodically, certain settlements are proceeding under the control of Russian occupation armed forces.

According to him, the Ukrainian side will seek to stop hostilities in peace negotiations, and then the requirements of Kyiv and Moscow will already be considered to complete the war. Venislavsky noted that the Kremlin's conditions were unacceptable for Ukraine or European and American partners, which was voiced during the meeting of Zelensky and Trump.

"But let's see, in the near future, I think everything will be clear and we will have a clearer picture of how the development will continue," Venislavsky said. We will remind, on August 19, Skynews suggested that the meeting of Zelensky, Trump and Putin could take place in Rome. According to journalists insiders, the Presidents of Ukraine and the USA are for this. At the same time, according to sources, the Russian side prefers Geneva, which is also offered by French President Emmanuel Macron.
