Russia says agenda 'not ready at all' for Putin-Zelenskiy summit
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said a summit agenda is not ready, delaying a Putin-Zelenskyy meeting amid ongoing conflict and differing peace conditions.
- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov indicated in an interview on NBC that there is currently no planned meeting between Putin and Zelenskyy, as an appropriate agenda for a summit has yet to be established.
- The delay follows Ukraine’s rejection of Russian proposals and Kyiv’s condition for binding security guarantees before talks, as Zelenskyy said no to everything.
- Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces targeted a key oil pumping facility in the Bryansk region along the Druzhba pipeline, leading to a halt in oil deliveries to Hungary and Slovakia amid ongoing drone strikes and territorial conflicts.
- The number of new Russian military recruits dropped to 37,900 in Q2 2025, the lowest in two years, contradicting Medvedev’s claim of 210,000 recruits.
- The summit’s failure highlights deep divisions as Russia maintains demands for Ukraine’s neutrality and territorial concessions while European leaders support a ground troop presence and fresh sanctions.
