Russian President Vladimir Putin would only consider a summit with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.S. President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan if negotiations with Kyiv yield results, the Kremlin said on Friday, May 30th.
“President Putin has repeatedly stated that he is fundamentally in favour of high-level contacts,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, adding: “But first, results must be achieved through direct negotiations between the two countries.”
The Kremlin also said it was sending its delegation to Istanbul and that it will be “ready” for a second round of talks with Kyiv on Monday.
