Kremlin Confirms No Putin-Trump-Zelensky Meeting Agreement

Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump have not reached any formal agreement to hold a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky or to organize a trilateral summit, according to Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov. This contradicts President Trump's earlier claims that arrangements for such meetings were underway following his talks with Putin in Alaska. Ushakov clarified that while the idea of elevating talks and a potential trilateral meeting was discussed, no concrete proposals or agreements were finalized between Moscow and Washington. The Kremlin emphasized that media reports about a Putin-Zelensky meeting or trilateral talks do not reflect official agreements, and discussions on Ukraine continue without any set plans. Ukrainian and European leaders have expressed skepticism, accusing Russia of delaying negotiations to prolong the war. Trump has maintained that a trilateral meeting will take place, but the Kremlin has denied this assertion.
