Analysts Reveal Kremlin's Game Around Putin And Zelensky Meeting

Why is Moscow dragging out the moment?

Russian officials are trying to delay the summit talks between Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Analytics at the US-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reported.

Analysts noted that Russian officials continue to delay summit talks between Vladimir Zelensky and Vladimir Putin, even despite U.S. calls for such a meeting.

The report recalled that on July 25, Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said that a meeting between Zelensky and Putin remains unlikely. He said Russia and Ukraine must first work out agreements "through expert work."

U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters the same day that a meeting between Putin and Zelensky "will take place" and that it should have "taken place three months ago."

The Institute's experts recalled that Russian officials have repeatedly postponed high-level talks between Ukrainian and Russian leaders and refused to engage in constructive negotiations aimed at achieving concrete steps to end the war.

"The Institute for the Study of War continues to assess that Russia is only making a show of interest in negotiations to buy time to advance on the battlefield and extract concessions from Ukraine and the West - in contrast to Ukraine, which continues to demonstrate a willingness to negotiate to end the war," the ISW report said.
