The President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, has expressed his willingness to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a third country, a shift from his previous demand for the meeting to occur in Moscow. According to Putin, this meeting should serve as a conclusive step toward signing a treaty rather than merely negotiating an end to the conflict initiated by Russia.
Putin’s remarks were reported by Russian state news agencies TASS and RIA Novosti. He emphasized that the encounter with Zelensky should mark the final point in the resolution process, rather than a discussion aimed at concluding hostilities.
Furthermore, Putin indicated that developments are progressing toward what he termed the “conclusion of the Ukrainian conflict,” referring to the ongoing war that Russia began against Ukraine.
The situation remains fluid as the international community continues to monitor the dynamics of the conflict and any potential diplomatic engagements.
