Moscow blocks the meeting between Zelensky, Putin and Trump
The representative of the Russian dictator reacted to the statement of Donald Trump's team regarding openness to this format of negotiations.
Dmitry Peskov stated that this will not happen in the near future, because, they say, no one has yet fulfilled the Kremlin's conditions.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also made a statement on this matter.
The latter made it clear that he would do everything possible to organize a meeting between Zelensky and Putin.
In addition, he is determined to involve Donald Trump in the negotiations:
"If they agree, I will also participate in this meeting, and in this way we will turn Istanbul into a center of peace. We will take the first steps for this after the last meeting (the second round of negotiations between Ukraine and Russia — ed.), "said Erdogan.
