Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said no meeting is currently planned between Russian leaders Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The next step of the diplomatic process aimed at putting an end to Russia’s war against Ukraine is set to be a meeting between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin. But where could that meeting take place?

Despite Trump's positivity, the meeting is far from guaranteed. Putin has repeatedly refused to meet with Zelenskyy during the conflict, having consistently sought to undermine the Ukrainian president's legitimacy. Russian officials rarely use Zelenskyy's name, preferring to refer to "the Kyiv regime."
