Ongoing hostilities and entrenched positions on territory and security guarantees continue to block direct leader-level engagement, with Russian President Vladimir Putin stating in May 2026 that any meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would occur only in a third country after a comprehensive peace accord is finalized. U.S.-brokered trilateral envoy talks in Geneva, Abu Dhabi, and Miami produced limited military progress but stalled on core political issues through early 2026, with a prior June deadline unmet amid competing regional priorities. These factors underpin trader consensus favoring no bilateral summit before 2027, while modest probabilities on neutral venues such as Turkey or Gulf states reflect their past roles in indirect diplomacy without indicating near-term breakthroughs.
