According to Reuters, the Kremlin stated that Putin's meeting with Zelensky is only possible after reaching specific arrangements. Presidential Presidential President Dmitry Peskov stressed that a personal meeting between Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky can only take place after experts agree on the conditions of a potential peace agreement.

According to Peskov, the meeting of two leaders proposed by Ukraine by the end of August is unlikely to become a reality. The Kremlin representative said that negotiations between the presidents can only be the final step in the process of reaching the arrangement. "The summit can and should put the final point in the settlement and consolidate the modalities and arrangements developed by experts. It is impossible to do the opposite," Dmitry Peskov said to reporters.

Well, it is obvious that it is unlikely," he added. Peskov again called the negotiation positions of both sides "diametrically opposite. " "It is unlikely that they can be collected together in one night. It will require a very difficult diplomatic work," said Russian Presidential President Dmitry Peskov.
