Conditions for a personal meeting between Putin and Zelensky outlined

It would be preferable for everything to be prepared in advance for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky, said Alexey Chepa, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, in an interview with Lenta.ru.

“Everything depends on how the negotiations proceed. We understand that sometimes almost everything is ready, but at some point a personal meeting is required at various stages. I am not talking about the specific moment right now. Therefore, it is possible that a meeting could take place even at the preparation stage. But in any case, it would be the final part,” Chepa said.

“Of course, it is preferable that everything be prepared in advance, and that the leadership then directly discusses the implementation of this,” Alexey Chepa, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs.
