Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reacted sceptically to remarks made by Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin that he is waiting for Zelenskyy in Moscow for bilateral talks.

Quote: "A meeting is necessary. It’s not about desire, it’s about necessity. We’ve supported both a trilateral and a bilateral meeting in any format. I believe that Russia is doing everything it can to delay it.

Our American partners have informed us that Putin has invited me to Moscow. I believe that if you want to prevent the meeting from taking place, you should invite me to Moscow."

Details: Zelenskyy said the very fact that Putin has started talking about such a meeting is a positive sign, but so far, there is no indication that Russia wants to end the war.

Quote: “Grown-ups should come out of a meeting of this level with some kind of result, preferably with an end to the war.”

Background: Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Putin’s proposal to meet with Zelenskyy in Moscow as “unacceptable”.
