Putin prepared to meet Zelenskiy but legitimacy an issue, Lavrov says

  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on August 21 that ending the war requires a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with President Donald Trump present.
  • Zelensky stated that a meeting would be possible only after allies reach an agreement within seven to 10 days on security arrangements for Ukraine designed to prevent further Russian aggression once hostilities cease.
  • Additional context includes Russia’s build-up of troops along the southern front line near Zaporizhzhia region, a major overnight barrage of 574 drones and 40 missiles killing one person, and Ukraine testing a long-range cruise missile called Flamingo.
  • Zelensky expressed that he does not want China involved in providing security assurances for Ukraine, pointing to Beijing’s perceived backing of Moscow, and stressed that Ukraine requires supporters who have actively assisted the country, especially during its moments of greatest need.
  • The situation indicates careful diplomatic negotiations amid ongoing conflict, with Zelensky dismissing the idea of a Moscow summit and advocating for a neutral European location, while international partners, including those from the UK and France, are organizing a military alliance to back the security assurances.
