Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov threw cold water on the possibility of an imminent meeting taking place between President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying that no meeting is currently planned.
“Putin is ready to meet with Zelenskyy, when the agenda would be ready for a summit,” Lavrov said during an interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday.
“And this agenda is not ready at all,” he continued.
Lavrov’s comments come after President Donald Trump suggested earlier this month that the leaders of the two countries had agreed to meet, which would mark a breakthrough in the ongoing war.
“I called President Putin, and began the arrangements for a meeting, at a location to be determined, between President Putin and President Zelenskyy,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social on Aug. 18, after he met separately with the two leaders.
