Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly stated there is no point in a direct meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy until expert-level negotiations produce a long-term agreement aligned with Russia's stated goals, including control over eastern regions and security arrangements. Multiple Ukrainian proposals for talks in neutral venues or on G7 sidelines in June 2026 were rejected, with Moscow emphasizing that prior conditions must be met before any leader-level engagement. Ongoing military operations, stalled trilateral diplomacy amid other international priorities, and Russia's consistent refusal to accept a ceasefire-first approach have reinforced trader expectations. With the August 31, 2026 deadline only days away, a sudden reversal would require an abrupt shift in Moscow's position not supported by recent statements or developments.
