“A potential meeting of the leaders of Russia and Ukraine is not taking place precisely because Kiev does not want a bilateral summit.
Zelensky is not an independent political figure, in order to meet with Putin, he needs approval from the United States, ”the political scientist said.
Mezyuho said that "Russia is accustomed to doing business with its foreign policy partners in a constructive and businesslike manner."
According to him, "Ukraine today does not demonstrate readiness to conduct a full-scale, constructive, mutually beneficial dialogue with Russia."
Earlier, Peskov spoke about the difficulties with the preparation of the meeting between Putin and Zelensky.
