The Kremlin has refuted claims of any undisclosed communications between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has condemned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s approach towards the meeting with Trump, labeling it as ‘unprecedented’ and insinuating that Zelenskyy’s diplomatic abilities were lacking and his commitment to peace was questionable. These statements come amid heightened tensions in the region and ongoing discussions regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
