Kremlin warns not to expect speedy breakthrough in Ukraine talks
'The settlement issue is extremely complex and involves a large number of nuances,' Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters, adding that 'it would be wrong to expect immediate solutions and breakthroughs.'
The Kremlin also said that it was 'unlikely' a meeting between Vladimir Putin, Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump would take place soon, a day after the White House said it was 'open' to the idea.
'In the near future, it is unlikely,' Peskov told reporters when asked about the chances of a meeting, adding that such a summit could only happen after Russian and Ukrainian negotiators reach an 'agreement.'

Macron calls Putin ‘predator' and ‘ogre at our gates'
PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday warned European allies not to trust Russian President Vladimir Putin whom he called 'an ogre at our gates.' Macron's remarks came as Russian and Ukrainian presidents Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky looked set for a peace summit after fast-moving talks Monday between Donald Trump and European leaders that focused on the key issue of long-term security guarantees for Kyiv. 'Putin has rarely honored his commitments,' Macron told the LCI broadcaster. 'He has constantly been a force for destabilization. He has sought to redraw borders to increase his power.' Macron said he did not believe that Russia would 'return to peace and a democratic system from one day to the next.' Putin, 'including for his own survival, needs to keep eating,' Macron said. 'That means he is a predator, an ogre at our gates.' This did not mean that France would 'come under attack tomorrow,' Macron said, 'but of course this is a threat to Europe (...) let's not be naive.'
