Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday there was “no meeting planned” between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents, despite US attempts to organise the summit.
“There is no meeting planned,” Lavrov said in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker”.
US President Donald Trump raised expectations for a swift summit between the leaders by saying they have both agreed to meet after he received President Volodymyr Zelensky with European allies in the White House.
Lavrov told the US broadcaster that Russian President Vladimir Putin was “ready to meet Zelensky when the agenda would be ready for a summit,” adding that it was “not ready at all”.
