MOSCOW, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- There is no meeting planned between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday.

"Putin is ready to meet with Zelensky when the agenda would be ready for a summit, and this agenda is not ready at all," Lavrov told U.S. news outlet NBC.

Lavrov said Russia has agreed to show flexibility on several issues raised by U.S. President Donald Trump during his meeting with Putin in Alaska last week, but suggested Ukraine had hindered the meeting agenda.

On Monday night, Trump said in a post on the Truth Social platform that he had called Putin and began arranging a bilateral meeting between Putin and Zelensky, with the location to be determined.

Trump added that after a Putin-Zelensky meeting, a trilateral meeting involving U.S., Russian and Ukrainian leaders would take place.

Lavrov previously said that Russia does not reject any formats, either bilateral or trilateral, on resolving the conflict in Ukraine. ■
