Russian President Vladimir Putin has never refused to hold talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov, as diplomatic efforts to address the Ukraine conflict continue. Ushakov said negotiations should initially involve Russia, the United States and Ukraine, while leaving open the possibility of European representatives joining at a later stage. He also claimed that Kyiv has been sending signals through various channels indicating its willingness to engage in direct talks.
Meanwhile, Zelensky has expressed readiness to meet Putin face-to-face in Türkiye, suggesting that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan could help facilitate the meeting through his communication channels with Moscow. The Ukrainian leader argues that direct engagement between the two presidents could help resolve issues that negotiating delegations and technical teams have been unable to settle. The latest statements highlight renewed discussion around possible high-level diplomacy to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
