Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday called for “real negotiations" and said that a trilateral summit between Ukraine, Russia and the US is needed while pointing out that Russia is giving “no signs" that such a meeting could take place.

“Putin has many demands, but we do not know all of them. We need real negotiations, which means we can start where the front line is now," Zelenskyy said, speaking at a press conference in Brussels, along with Ursula Von Der Leyen, the European Commission President.

“Russia gives no sign a trilateral meeting will happen," the Ukrainian leader was quoted as saying by UK broadcaster Sky News.

Meanwhile, the US President Donald Trump, on Truth Social, teased a “big development" with respect to Russia, in a latest post on Sunday.

He wrote: “BIG PROGRESS ON RUSSIA. STAY TUNED! President DJT."
