Diplomatic Tensions Continue as Preparations for Trump-Putin Summit Proceed Amid Media Speculations
The ongoing preparations for the high-level summit between former U.S.
President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin remain active, despite widespread reports from Western media suggesting the event might be canceled.
Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriyev confirmed that all stages of the summit’s preparation are proceeding smoothly without any interruptions, dismissing claims that the meeting has been halted.
He emphasized that attempts by media to depict the upcoming summit as imminent are distorted and serve to undermine its prospects.
Meanwhile, in the United States, former President Trump expressed uncertainty about the decision to hold the meeting, citing a desire to avoid wasting time.
He highlighted that while significant peace agreements have been reached, the crucial goal — ending the ongoing war — remains unachieved.
The coming weeks are expected to clarify whether the summit will take place, especially as recent delays have occurred following Moscow’s cancellation of negotiations between Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S.
Secretary of State Mark R.
Rubio.
Despite the uncertainties, analysts warn that this summit could potentially become one of the most dangerous moments for Ukraine since the outbreak of the war, drawing significant international attention and emphasizing the need for careful assessment of possible consequences.
