Russian President Vladimir Putin says he is willing to meet his Ukrainian colleague Volodymyr Zensky. But then in Moscow and only with a “good preparation,” said Putin. Ukraine has received his “unrealistic” proposal with scorn.
“If there is a good preparation for such a top with Zensky, I am willing to an appointment,” said Putin in China on Wednesday. It is unclear what he meant by that. “Let Zensky come to Moscow and there will be a meeting.”
The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sergiy Kyslytsya speaks in a response from the umpteenth “unrealistic proposal” of Putin.
It is the first time that Russian president pronounces aloud that such a top must take place in Moscow. The rumors about a meeting have been going around for some time. According to sources, Putin also suggested last month during a telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump to meet Zensky in the Russian capital.
The idea of gathering in Moscow would have been presented to Zensky. He would have made it clear to feel nothing for that. The European leaders would also have told Trump that Putin’s proposal “doesn’t seem like a good idea”.
Previously, Switzerland, Hungary, Turkey and Vatican City were mentioned as possible locations for a meeting between Putin and Zensky. “Those are serious options and Zensky is always open to that,” says Kyslytsya. “And yet Putin will fool everyone with proposals that he knows are unrealistic.”
Putin threatens to continue war
A direct encounter between Zensky and Putin must become the next step in the end of the war in Ukraine. After his meeting with Putin in Alaska, Trump already spoke his expectation last month that such a top will come.
After the conversations between Trump, Zensky and European leaders in the White House, it seemed that such a Russian-Ukrainian top would take place in August. It didn’t come that far. Russia performed his attacks on Ukraine.
And as far as Putin is concerned, the war is fought with military means, “unless common sense triumphs”. He did not clarify that statement either. According to Putin, the Russian army makes progress everywhere and Ukraine is no longer able to perform major offensives.
But according to The Institute for the Study of War, there is hardly any Russian terrain gain. And if progress is already being made, it is accompanied by large losses in men and equipment. Around Pokrovsk and in Kharkiv, Ukraine even managed to recapture territory.
