President Donald Trump didn’t offer any updates Friday on timing for a potential meeting between himself, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The denial of a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting comes days after Donald Trump said he had begun arrangements for them to sit down together.

Russia’s top diplomat said in an interview released on Friday that “there is no meeting planned” between President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. It was the Kremlin’s most direct declaration yet that a summit the White House suggested was imminent was nowhere close to materializing.

Vladimir Putin has told his generals what he needs in return for bringing the Ukraine invasion that has killed hundreds of thousands to an end, according to sources.

Russia’s President Vladimir Putin likes to project himself as a strongman. But his track record of handling recent crises in Russia reveals a different side of his presidential persona: one of paralysis and indecision.

AMW PR Senior Vice President Ajay Bruno claims Russia is going to “play hardball as long as they can” as the war in Ukraine continues to rage on.
