Zelensky: I am ready to meet with Putin

Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his latest position: Washington has suggested in recent negotiations that Moscow and Kiev refrain from using long-range capabilities.

 

Zelensky emphasized: We have not yet reached a compromise or middle ground with Russia on the issue of Ukrainian territory.

 

The Ukrainian President said: I am ready for any meeting with Putin, but not in Moscow or Belarus.

 

Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the downing of 18 Ukrainian drones last night.

 

The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the country's air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 18 Ukrainian drones over various regions of Russia, including Bryansk, Crimea, and the Black Sea last night.

 

It is worth noting that on February 21, 2022 Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics in the Donbass region, criticizing the West's indifference to Moscow's security concerns.

 

Three days later, on Thursday, February 24 (5th Hut 1400), Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a military operation, which he called a "special operation," against Ukraine, thus turning the tense Moscow-Kiev relations into a military confrontation.
