Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on August 30 that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would only be possible when it is necessary to finalize an existing agreement. According to Sina Finance, he said the Ukraine agreement is not a "raw deal" but a complex process involving many details, and added that Russia remains open to talks but that the preconditions are not yet in place.
