About this market
Ongoing military operations and Russia's insistence that direct presidential talks occur only after lower-level negotiators reach a framework agreement have kept the prospect of a Zelenskyy-Putin meeting remote. Kremlin statements in late August 2026 described peace efforts as being on a "deep pause" amid frontline advances, while Putin has repeatedly rejected proposals for immediate summits, citing the absence of substantive preconditions. Trader consensus at 92.5% for no meeting before 2027 reflects these persistent barriers and the lack of verified diplomatic momentum in recent months. A rapid shift could still occur if U.S.-mediated talks produce a draft accord or if battlefield developments compel both sides to alter their positions on timing and venue.
