Russia’s top diplomat said in an interview released on Friday that “there is no meeting planned” between President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, the clearest sign yet that a summit the White House had said was imminent is nowhere close to materializing.
“Putin is ready to meet with Zelensky when the agenda would be ready for a summit,” Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov of Russia said in comments on “Meet the Press With Kristen Welker” that were released by NBC News.
“And this agenda is not ready at all,” Mr. Lavrov said.
Anton Troianovski is the Moscow bureau chief for The Times. He writes about Russia, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
