“At this time, at least seven countries are willing to host a meeting between the leaders of Ukraine and Russia to put an end to the war“, wrote the Ukrainian minister on the Social Network X, mentioning that Austria, Vatican, Switzerland, Turkey and three bay countries offered to host such a meeting, according to Agerpres, citing the two foreign agents.
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister described these options as “SERIOUS“And he reaffirmed Zelenski's availability to meet a little at any time in any of these locations.
“However, Putin continues to confuse everyone by making proposals that he knows are unacceptable.”he continued to accuse the Ukrainian minister, who claimed that only increased international pressure will make Russia will make Russian president “To finally take seriously” The peace process that US President Donald Trump is trying to push.
“I have never excluded the possibility of such a meeting”
In a press conference at the end of his visit to China, Putin said he was always open to a meeting with Zelenski, confirming that Trump also asked for it, but repeated the position of Moscow that such a meeting must be well prepared to give results. “We have never excluded the possibility of such a meeting. But it makes sense? We will see!“, the Kremlin leader indicated.
“If Zelenski is ready to come to Moscow And this meeting will take place“he added.
The series of high level meetings driven by Trump after the summit with Putin in Alaska did not lead to concrete results for a perspective of cessation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, as Russia is primarily concerned about territorial issues, while Kiev and its European allies are concerned about security guarantees.
But Zelenski rejects any transfer of territories to Russia, who, on his part, rejects any troops from NATO countries as a security guarantee for Ukraine, and the latter European allies still provide all the support if it continues the war, while it insists on carrying out peacekeeping troops in Ukraine.
Moscow accused the Ukrainian president of rejecting all the proposals for compromise, so there are no conditions for a summit between Putin and Zenski, requested by the latter, but also by Trump and by the European supporters of Ukraine.
