Trump and Putin will not meet in the coming weeks
The White House confirms the news after the Kremlin lowered expectations about the meeting. They argue it needs "serious preparation." On the other hand, Russia has also ruled out a ceasefire in Ukraine, saying it would serve to rearm Ukraine.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin will not meet in the coming weeks as confirmed this Tuesday by the White House.
In the last few hours, the Kremlin has lowered expectations about the meetings and said that "serious preparation" is needed.
Moreover, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has ruled out a ceasefire in Ukraine, which he believes would be contrary to what Trump and Putin agreed in August and would serve to rearm Ukraine.
The news of the cancellation of the meeting has been confirmed to the Bloomberg agency by a White House official, and it was precisely Sergei Lavrov and the head of Russian and US diplomacy, Marco Rubio, who had a conversation on Monday to prepare for that meeting and stressed that it was "constructive."
Although the statements made by Washington and Moscow on the subject were more moderate, Donald Trump said last week that they would meet again "in a week or two," after a telephone conversation with Putin in which the two leaders agreed to meet in Budapest to "end" the war in Ukraine.
Then Trump received Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski at the White House, and although he asked for Tomahawk's missiles, the US President did not give them to him.
When he arrived in the White House, Trump announced that he would end the war in 24 hours. He has since met face to face with Putin; in August they met in Anchorage, Alaska, but made no commitment to end the conflict.
