Zelensky once again proposed a meeting with Putin: what is known about the negotiations.

Vladimir Putin expressed his views on the possibility of talking to Ukraine about a peaceful resolution to the situation in Donbas. 'I have always said that we need to communicate, that we need to listen to each other and have the opportunity to agree,' said Putin.

President Zelensky, for his part, does not rule out the possibility of a meeting: 'If the Russian leader wants to meet in spirit or at all, then why not?'. It is worth noting that Zelensky has opened up to a meeting with Putin twice: first, on the eve of the Normandy summit in Paris in December 2019, and then - in March 2020 during his speech at the Kyiv International Economic Forum.

Both leaders expressed a desire to resolve the conflict in Donbas through dialogue, but no specific proposals regarding the date and place of the meeting have yet been received.
