While speaking with journalists, he emphasized that he would not want a repetition of the scenario he called "Yalta 2, 3, 4." According to him, the world today is different from what it was during World War II.
Today we have a different world, a fragmented world that is very different from the world of World War II, both before and after it. A completely different technological world.

He added that the Russians are most interested in this meeting, as they consider it an advantage for themselves. At the same time, according to him, China is the least interested in it.

Context
U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff proposed that Russia hold a trilateral meeting with China's participation next month to discuss a plan to end the war in Ukraine.
The proposal is for U.S. President Donald Trump, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to meet and reach a settlement regarding Ukraine.
Oleksii Buriachenko, president of the International Institute for Security Studies, said in a comment to UNN that only the Kremlin is interested in the potential trilateral talks between Russia, the United States and China. In particular, this would be aimed at raising the possibility of resolving Russia's war against Ukraine without the participation of Kyiv and Europe. Instead, other issues remain priorities for the United States and China.
To remind you
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's aide, Yury Ushakov, said that representatives of European countries would not participate in the trilateral technical talks between Ukraine, the United States and Russia, which are scheduled to take place next month.
