During discussions, President Zelensky indicated that he is open to a meeting with Putin in Kyiv. - In Zelenskyy's statement, he expresses openness to a face-to-face encounter with Putin in Kiev.
The ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to dominate global headlines, and the latest development comes from a potential summit between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to reports from the American Broadcasting Company, at least seven countries have offered to host a summit between the two leaders. Among these nations are three Gulf states, which are considered neutral in the conflict.
The offer comes following Zelensky's repeated calls for a meeting with Putin to negotiate a ceasefire in the invasion. On Thursday, Zelensky rejected Moscow as a venue for the potential talks, citing the ongoing attacks on Ukraine as the reason.
Putin has maintained his stance that a meeting with Zelensky should take place in Moscow, a position he reiterated during an economic forum in Vladivostok on Friday. However, Zelensky has suggested that Putin could come to Kyiv for the talks instead.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been ongoing for more than three and a half years, with no sign of a resolution in sight. Despite Putin's insistence that talks in Moscow would strengthen the Kremlin's negotiating position, Zelensky has expressed his inability to travel to Moscow while Ukraine is under daily attack.
Putin has questioned the point of talks in the past, but Zelensky has remained steadfast in his pursuit of a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The Ukrainian president has repeatedly emphasised the need for dialogue to end the violence and restore peace to his country.
The identity of the seven countries offering to host the summit has not been disclosed in the available search results. It remains to be seen whether Zelensky and Putin will find common ground and agree to a meeting in the near future.
As the situation continues to unfold, the international community will be watching closely to see if progress can be made towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine.
