Ukraine's latest attacks on Russia are pushing back the prospect of any direct contacts between President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said on Thursday (June 18).
Ushakov made his remarks after Moscow bore the brunt of one of the largest Ukrainian aerial assaults of the war so far.
Kremlin aide also said that President Donald Trump was 'pumped with' harmful ideas by his EU counterparts during the G7 meeting, after which the United States had no contacts with Moscow.
He added that the EU had wrongly assumed that the battlefield situation was changing in Ukraine's favour and reiterated that there were no dates set for a visit to Moscow by Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
