TREE NEWS update: Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on the 22nd that the possibility of a trilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia, the United States and Ukraine is under study, but no final decision has been reached. The remarks indicate talks on the format are still at an early stage, with no date or venue set.
Russia studying possibility of trilateral Putin-Trump-Zelensky summit, deputy FM says
The significance here is in the word "study": it signals format exploration rather than a settled diplomatic track, and Ryabkov's framing keeps Moscow positioned as a participant in shaping the process without committing to it. The absence of a date or venue matters more than the trilateral idea itself, since those are the details that would indicate real preparation rather than positioning. Who this affects most immediately are the intermediaries and markets that price off diplomatic momentum. Whether Washington and Kyiv publicly echo the same exploratory language, or stay silent, is the open question worth watching.
