> Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said a summit between Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and Volodymyr Zelensky could take place only to formalize agreements, not to work through the many details of a settlement. He also accused Kyiv of opposing efforts toward a settlement. Trump had predicted in August 2025 that the meeting would occur within two weeks, but it has not taken place.
