The Kremlin announced that there is currently no basis for a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian presidents, reports Reuters.

In response to a question about Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's offers to mediate in peace talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyi could meet only after negotiators from both sides had "done their homework." ".

Negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv have been stalled for months, with each side blaming the other for a lack of progress.

"The Ukrainian delegation has gone off the radar, now there is no negotiation process," said Peskov.

"As for the meeting between Presidents Putin and Zelensky, it is possible only after the delegations have completed all their homework. This is missing, so there are no necessary preconditions for the meeting," he added.
