Turin, August 21 (LaPresse) – "There are two leadership-level formats where real progress is possible: the bilateral format — Ukraine and Russia — and the trilateral one — Ukraine, the United States, and Russia. This was discussed in Washington. Putin also spoke about it during a phone call with Trump. Right now, the signals coming from Russia are, frankly, indecent. They are trying to avoid the necessity of holding a meeting," said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in his evening address.
"They don't want to end this war. Massive offensives against Ukraine continue, along with fierce assaults on the front line. Moreover, they are launching missiles at an American company, as well as at many other purely civilian targets of ours," he added.
