MOSCOW – Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that it is too early to talk about a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, as there is no breakthrough yet in the peace talks.
"To be able to discuss a possible meeting between the two presidents, you must first do your homework. That is, you need to conduct and agree on the results of the negotiations," Peskov told a daily briefing.
Ukrainian and Russian delegations held three rounds of negotiations in person in Belarus starting from Feb 28 to seek a possible settlement of the current conflict
"So far, no significant progress has been made (in the negotiation process) … The presidents simply have no agreements to approve yet," he said.
