No basis for meeting between Putin and Zelenskiy, says Kremlin

O Kremlin said, on Monday (8), that there is no basis for a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents at the moment.

In response to a question about Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan’s offers to broker peace talks, the spokesman for the KremlinDmitry Peskov, told reporters on a conference call that Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky will only be able to meet after negotiators on both sides “have done their homework”.

Talks between Moscow and Kiev have stalled for months, with each side blaming the other for the lack of progress.

“The Ukrainian delegation has gone off the radar, there is no negotiation process now,” Peskov said on Monday.

“As for a meeting between Presidents Putin and Zelensky, it is only possible after all the homework has been done by the delegations. This is missing, so there are no necessary prerequisites for the encounter,” he added.
