'Not likely in next 30 days': Peskov doubts Putin-Zelenskyy meeting will happen before end of summer

The Russian state media outlets RIA Novosti and Kommersant reported the information.

According to Peskov, such a meeting would only make sense if it served to formalize the resolution of the conflict and cement agreements that had already been reached.

"Can such a complex process be completed in 30 days? Obviously, that’s unlikely," Peskov said.

He also noted that Moscow and Kyiv currently have “diametrically opposed” approaches to ending the war, and in his view, those positions are unlikely to be reconciled quickly.

• On July 23, the Ukrainian delegation arrived in Turkey for negotiations with Russia, set to begin at 7 p.m. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy outlined three key items on the agenda for the talks. Meanwhile, Kyiv has already begun separate meetings with the Turkish side.
