Zelensky is ready to meet with Putin anywhere except Moscow: the UN has named possible places for negotiations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready for a personal meeting with Putin to discuss the end of the war. At the same time, the Ukrainian side categorically excludes the possibility of holding such negotiations in Moscow.

Where could the talks between Zelensky and Putin take place

According to Andriy Melnyk, the Ukrainian president does not rule out the possibility of a personal meeting with the Russian leader.

The diplomat stressed that the talks could take place almost anywhere in the world, but Moscow is not considered a possible venue.

He even named Florida, where the G20 summit is to be held in December, and Antarctica as potential meeting locations.

At the same time, no specific agreements have been announced on the date, place, or format of the meeting.

Ukraine will not agree to surrender

During his speech at the UN Security Council, Andriy Melnyk also stated that the Russian leadership continues to count on Ukraine’s exhaustion and its readiness to surrender.

However, according to the diplomat, these hopes of the Kremlin will not come true.

The Ukrainian side continues to insist on the need to end the war and reach agreements that will guarantee the security of the state.

Zelensky warned against revising the European security system

Earlier, on November 6, Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with CNN journalist Jake Tapper expressed concern about US President Donald Trump’s idea of ​​a new security system in Europe.

According to the Ukrainian president, Russia is not demonstrating a real willingness to stop the war, but instead is trying to shift the discussion to the issue of revising the European security architecture.

In addition, during a meeting with European Council President Antonio Costa in Madrid, Zelensky stressed the need for European partners to participate in negotiations on security guarantees and post-war economic recovery of Ukraine.

Thus, Kyiv declares openness to negotiations at the highest level, while insisting on an acceptable venue for them and taking into account Ukraine’s security interests.
