Russian Permanent Representative Polyansky commented on the alleged meeting between Putin and Zelensky

Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations, said on August 7 that he did not have information related to the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky.

"I am not aware of any scheduled meetings with President Zelensky, but I am not aware of all the details. I think these things are now being very actively commented on through the channels of the two presidents," he said during a meeting with reporters. A transcript of Polyansky's statement and a conversation with media staff is available on the official website of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations.

Polyansky noted that the Russian president's meeting with US President Donald Trump will probably take place next week, but there is no information about the exact location of the talks.
