Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued a stark warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying negotiations must begin before winter or Russia could face a "difficult winter."

Speaking at the Reuters Next Conference, Zelenskyy revealed that he recently met Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich and had invited Putin to join negotiations at the G7 summit—despite the Kremlin denying such discussions.

The Ukrainian leader accused Putin of "playing games" with the international community while insisting that Ukraine remains ready for a just and lasting peace. Zelenskyy also claimed that Ukraine has regained momentum on parts of the battlefield, liberating 100 square kilometres over the past month.

He further stated that 60% of Russians want the war to end and suggested that future peace talks could take place in Switzerland, Türkiye, the Middle East, or even the United States.

Will Putin come to the negotiating table before winter arrives? Watch this report for the latest developments in the Russia-Ukraine war.

00:00They have just released the second trench, but in order to release more money, they are waiting...
00:06I made a phone call to him and said that, Emmanuel, what do you think about during G7 meeting?
00:12You invite not only us, find a way maybe in Switzerland, in a neutral country,
00:18to find a way like we, G7, basing on such, I mean, this presence of many leaders.
00:25We can use this opportunity and try to organize meeting with Russians.
00:32And he was very happy with this idea, but Russians didn't react.
00:39I mean, they didn't support.
00:41Also, American side knew this proposition, and I'm not sure that they also have got positive signals.
00:48So now we are here, and we had a really strong meeting.
00:53Putin didn't use this opportunity to meet during G7.
00:59So did you discuss a possible timeline?
01:04Yes, I know that he made a lot of propositions, again, through different leaders, I mean Putin, to come to
01:11Moscow.
01:12But this, I mean, this is such games, we don't play such games.
01:15So we need some sort of country.
01:19It's not Russia, it's not Ukraine.
01:22It's understandable why.
01:24So it can be Switzerland, it can be Turkey, it can be Middle East countries.
01:30It can be, I don't know, I'm not the President of the United States.
01:35I mean, it's up to the President to do it, to organize or not, to invite us, both of us
01:40or not.
01:41But I think USA also can be, at least they had a meeting already in the United States, in Alaska.
01:48But the President...
01:49Before the winter, before the winter, sorry, sorry.
01:53I think this is a very important thing.
01:56Try to organize a meeting before the winter.
01:59Got it.
01:59It was a terrible winter for us.
02:04And, but you have to understand that we don't want to go through the same winter.
02:12And Russia has to know that we had a terrible winter, and they will have also not simple.
02:17So I think, my proposition, dialogue.
02:23Other EU countries for full EU membership.
02:27And do you feel that the EU...
02:30First of all, he was very positive that they can help us more with missiles.
02:38And this is a big challenge, really, because the production is not so big as our needs.
02:44The production is in the United States.
02:48I raised the topic of licenses.
02:51I addressed it to President Trump.
02:53We need licenses to produce missiles.
02:55We have capabilities different.
02:57It's difficult to produce Patriot systems and missiles.
03:01Yes, I know.
03:02I had a lot of, believe me, I had a lot of meetings and calls with Raytheon, with his company,
03:09with their management CEOs, and etc.
03:11I know, I'm deeply in this topic, but in any way, we want to increase their production,
03:19if they will be okay, and if President Trump will support this idea.
03:24But now he was positive.
03:25Mr. Germak, was that a sign that you...
03:32He was positive.
03:32Yes.
03:33He was positive, yeah.
03:34He was positive.
03:35Okay.
03:35And I hope, I hope when President Trump is positive, I hope it's yes.
03:40We can close.
03:41Thank you, President Zelensky.
03:43Thank you so much.
03:43We are so grateful for having you.
03:46I don't know if you can hear the call.
03:48I hear you.
03:50Thank you very much.
03:51All the best.
03:51Thank you very much.
03:52Thank you very much.
03:54Thank you very much.
