Meanwhile, Putin questioned Zelensky's legitimacy and said it was uncertain whether talks with Zelensky had "meaning".Zelensky's presidency ended in May 2024, but he refused to hold a new round of elections on the grounds of the imposition of custody.
before then, Trump isZelensky continued to encourage direct talks with Putin. It is necessary to “interfere” personally.“We can encourage both sides to sit together.
In an interview with Sky News on Tuesday, Zelensky said: “I am prepared to hold tripartite meetings with President Trump and Putin, or to hold bilateral meetings ... without any conditions.”
However, when asked whether he would be willing to visit Moscow on Putin’s invitation, Zelensky replied that Moscow was “the capital of the country that attacked Ukraine.”
Trump suggested, The leaders of Ukraine and Russia should hold a one-on-one meeting firstLet the two sides directly exchange views before a broader summit.
Kremlin spokesman Peskov said direct talks between Russia and Ukraine are still possible, but are currently in a "suspension" state.
He pointed out that the negotiating representatives could use the existing communication channels, but there is no plan for the meeting for the time being.The Russian Foreign Ministry said that a summit between Putin and Zelensky would only be possible if the appropriate agenda was determined.
Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov further added, This requires a “reasonable response” from Kiev to Moscow’s proposal.
From the current statements of the parties, there are still significant differences between the Russian and Ukrainian sides in the meeting place, their own demands and the other party's legitimacy perception, although Trump has actively promoted the dialogue but has not proposed a concrete coordination plan for the time being, the differences in the tripartite positions make the resumption of direct talks facing multiple obstacles.
In the short term, it is more likely that Russia and Ukraine will gradually narrow their differences and clarify their agendas through existing communication channels. Whether a substantive meeting can be formed depends not only on the compromise space between the two sides on key issues, but also closely related to the mediation efforts of the international community.
How the situation will develop in the future, it is still necessary to continue to pay attention to follow-up actions and changes in positions, and any subtle adjustment of attitude can have an impact on the process of dialogue.
