The trilateral meeting in Lviv between the Ukrainian president has concluded Volodymyr ZelenskyThe turkish Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. The goal was to find diplomatic solutions to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the grain corridors. But the possibility of a Putin-Zelensky face-to-face meeting has also opened up. At least according to what is leaked by the Turkish media, but it is not even the first time that the Kremlin would be ready for a bilateral agreement between the two conflicting presidents. Meanwhile, the bombings continue on Kharkiv and also on Mykolaiv.
Erdogan, astute tightrope walker, director of thewheat deal between Kiev and Moscow to avert a global food crisis, has adopted an attitude of difficult acrobatic balance between the two countries in conflict, bringing Turkey back to the position of absolute protagonist on the international scene, after a long period of isolation. And now he is pressing to bring the two big names in comparison, Putin and Zelensky, to Turkey.
Putin-Zelensky meeting: is it possible?
According to what transpires from Russian sources - quoted by CNN Turk - Putin would have hinted that he could meet Zelensky during the last summit with the Turkish president on August 5 in Sochi.
CNN Turk recalls that Zelensky had already offered Putin a bilateral meeting four times, which however had always been rejected by the Kremlin. And instead, before the trilateral Zelensky-Erdogan-Guterres summit, the broadcaster reports "a softening of the Russian position". “Leaders can discuss and define a road map. The delegations can then work to put this road map into practice,” the sources quoted by Turkish CNN said. Previously, Russia had spoken of a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky only after the two negotiating teams had finalized a roadmap for peace. Although it would seem easier said than done.
At least as long as we continue to fight on the field, and above all as long as the parties continue to accuse each other on the risk of a nuclear accident with continued clashes near the Zaporizhzhya power plant. Russian forces took control of the plant, the largest in Europe, in the first weeks of the war in Ukraine but, although there was heavy fighting in the vicinity of the plant, no nuclear material was released, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations.
