US Believes Putin, Zelensky May Meet: Envoy Witkoff
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Washington considers a bilateral meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky possible, US special envoy Steve Witkoff said.
"I think that we may end up seeing a bilateral meeting. My own opinion is that the president (Donald Trump) is going to be needed at the table to finish a deal," he told Fox News in an interview, TASS reported.
On August 22, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that no meeting between the Russian president and Zelensky was planned.
Lavrov added that Putin would be ready for such a meeting once a clear agenda presents itself.
