Currently exist "no arrangements" for American leader President Trump to meet Russia's Putin "anytime soon", a White House official has announced.

This past week Trump said he and the Kremlin leader would meet in Hungary's capital soon to address the Ukraine conflict.

A planning session between America's top diplomat Marco Rubio and his Russian counterpart Foreign Minister Lavrov was scheduled to occur recently - but the administration stated the two had had a "constructive" conversation and that a meeting was no longer "needed".

The White House declined to provide additional specifics on why the talks had been postponed.

Previous Developments

Trump had discussed a Hungarian meeting over the phone with Putin, a day before meeting Ukraine's President Zelensky in the Oval Office.

Certain accounts claimed his meeting with Zelensky had been a "heated exchange", with sources suggesting the president had pushed him to relinquish extensive regions of Ukraine's east as part of a agreement with Moscow.

However, on this week Trump embraced a peace initiative backed by Ukraine and European leaders to freeze the conflict on the existing battle lines.

"Freeze the lines where it stands," he remarked.

Russia has repeatedly pushed back against halting the present battle positions.

The Russian government was solely focused on "permanent resolution", Lavrov stated on this week, suggesting that freezing the front line would only amount to a short-term truce.

Diplomatic Positions

The "fundamental issues" of the hostilities required resolution, the Russian diplomat stated, using Moscow's terminology for a range of comprehensive conditions that encompass the recognition of complete Moscow control over the Donbas as well as the military reduction of Ukraine – a impossible condition for Ukraine and its European partners.

Zelensky said discussions about the battle positions were the "beginning of diplomacy" but that Moscow was "employing all tactics" to prevent dialogue.

He additionally stated the sole subject that could cause Russia to "pay attention" was that of the supply of distance-capable munitions to Ukraine.

Weapons Discussions

The Russian president's spontaneous discussion with Trump last Thursday came ahead of rumors that the US was planning to provide distance-capable weapons to Ukraine that could theoretically target Russian territory.

The Ukrainian leader stated it was the Tomahawks issue that had pressured the Kremlin to engage in discussion. The discussion regarding the weapons systems had emerged as a "strong investment" in negotiations", he remarked.
