Zelenskyy: I am ready to meet Putin in the Middle East or the US

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said a potential meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin could take place outside of Ukraine or Russia.

Speaking in an interview with Italian radio station RAI, Zelenskyy stated he was ready to meet with Putin.

“Definitely not in Moscow or Kyiv. But there are many places where a meeting could happen — in the Middle East, Europe, or the US,” he noted.

He also said that negotiations involving the United States are ongoing, although American diplomats remain focused on developments in the Middle East.
