US President Donald Trump wants Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin to meet in person first before he is ready to join the trilateral format of talks.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is reported by<\/a> The Guardian, citing its sources.<\/p>\n

This was reported by sources close to Trump’s entourage, noting that such a position has become a subject of discussion among his advisers. According to the interlocutors, Trump has repeatedly emphasized in recent days that his involvement is possible only after a personal dialogue between Zelensky and Putin.<\/p>\n

Trump himself publicly confirmed this idea in an interview with an American talk show: “I just want to see what happens at the meeting. They’re organizing it now, and we’ll see what happens.”<\/p>\n

The US administration has described the situation as “waiting.” There are still no clear agreements on the location or date of a possible first meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia.<\/p>\n

The White House says Trump and his national security team are in contact with both sides to help de-escalate and find diplomatic ways to end the war, but it says that publicly discussing the details of the talks “is not in the national interest of the United States.”<\/p>\n

As a reminder, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky is possible only after preliminary consideration of all key issues<\/a> . At the same time, he questioned the legitimacy of the Ukrainian president and put forward unacceptable conditions for Kyiv regarding security and the presence of foreign troops.<\/p>\n

As reported, the Kremlin insists on veto power over any security guarantees for Ukraine, seeking to thwart joint efforts by the US, Europe, and Kyiv to create conditions for lasting peace.<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, Hungary has already twice proposed holding peace talks between Ukraine and Russia, and this proposal remains valid<\/a> . This was stated by the country’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto.<\/p>\n
