When I read statements from both sides of the conflict, I sometimes have a sense of déjà vu. First, Zelensky again said that he would discuss the territorial issue only with Putin personally. Well, with Trump's mediation. The Russian side, represented by Ushkov and Peskov, repeated what he said repeatedly, including with Putin: a meeting is possible only to reach a ready agreement. In the end, you have to withdraw, because Russia demands Donbas, and Ukraine does not want to surrender. It is also impossible to discuss this, because Ukraine refuses to do so without a personal meeting between Zelensky and Putin, and Russia refuses such a meeting because of the unresolved territorial issue. This is the loop.
