Peskov: Putin never fundamentally refuses to meet with Zelensky

Russian President Vladimir Putin has never fundamentally refused to meet with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, but for this to happen, it is necessary to prepare the text of the document, Spokesman for the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, told journalists.

“In terms of subject, there are no novelties in this regard. In terms of the meeting, we said that the president never refused such a meeting in principle, but appropriate conditions should be prepared for it, namely the text of the document,” the Kremlin spokesman said.

He added that there was no understanding yet about new rounds of face-to-face negotiations between Moscow and Kyiv, TASS quoted Peskov as saying.
