Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday that a"meeting is not planned" between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, despite US efforts to arrange a summit.

"There is no meeting planned," he said in an interview with US broadcaster NBC News.

He added that Russian leader Vladimir Putin was"ready to meet with Zelensky when the summit agenda is prepared," and that it was "not prepared at all."

Earlier this week, Lavrov denounced the White House meeting as a"failed" attempt by the Europeans to change the US leader's position on Ukraine, which was agreed with Putin during their meeting in Alaska last week.

On Friday, he dashed hopes for a meeting between Putin and Zelensky to end the four-year war by questioning the Ukrainian president's legitimacy and repeating Russia's maximalist claims.

"There are several principles that Washington believes must be agreed to, including giving up NATO membership and discussing territorial issues, and Zelensky has rejected all of these," Lavrov said.
