Background: 

• On 22 August, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Vladimir Putin would meet Volodymyr Zelenskyy only after a "summit programme" had been prepared and that there were no such plans at the moment. 
• Trump intends to leave it to Russia and Ukraine to organise a meeting between their leaders, thereby stepping back from the talks for the time being. 
• Speaking to the media representatives on 29 August, Zelenskyy recalled that on Monday 1 September the "couple of weeks" Trump had given Moscow for next steps in the negotiations, including arranging a bilateral meeting with Ukraine before returning to the idea of sanctions, would expire.
