\u201cTitanic\u201d provocation and disinformation efforts are incoming, Kirill Dmitriev has warned<\/strong><\/p>\n

Countries with a vested interest in prolonging the Ukraine conflict will likely go to great lengths to derail the planned meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump, Moscow\u2019s senior negotiator Kirill Dmitriev warned on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The two leaders are set to meet next Friday in Alaska, with a possible resolution of the armed conflict between Kiev and Moscow at the top of the agenda. Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky has already rejected any truce that would involve territorial concessions, despite Trump saying they would be part of the proposed deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cCertainly, several nations that have a vested interest in prolonging the conflict will take titanic efforts (provocations and disinformation) to torpedo the planned meeting,\u201d<\/em> Dmitriev wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

Dmitriev, who serves as Putin\u2019s aide for international economic cooperation and heads Moscow\u2019s efforts to normalize ties with Washington, was responding to remarks by former US Defense Department adviser Dan Caldwell. Caldwell said there was a \u201cconcerted effort to undermine\u201d<\/em> the summit, reacting to a Wall Street Journal article which he noted was based largely on Ukrainian and European sources.<\/p>\n

Worth noting that the sources in this story appear to largely from Ukraine and Europe. <\/p>\n

Without a doubt, there is going to be a concerted effort to undermine Trump’s meeting with Putin by forces in Europe and Ukraine who have a vested interest in the war continuing. https:\/\/t.co\/anLAVZuQQf<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this week, US media claimed Trump was pressuring Putin to meet with Zelensky before agreeing to a face-to-face meeting with the Russian leader. Trump denied imposing such conditions, saying, \u201cThey would like to meet me, and I\u2019ll do whatever I can to stop the killing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Moscow has called Zelensky\u2019s continued claim to the presidency unconstitutional since his term expired last year. Putin has said he is willing to meet the Ukrainian leader to finalize \u2013 but not negotiate \u2013 a truce. He also suggested that the question of Zelensky\u2019s disputed status needs to be addressed to ensure the legality of any future treaty.<\/p>\n

Dmitriev has previously described the upcoming summit as a historic opportunity and praised the venue, noting Alaska\u2019s historical ties to Russia before its sale to the United States in the 19th century.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
