According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, Yuri Ushakov, an aide to the Russian president, stated on Wednesday that Moscow has never refused contact between Putin and Zelensky but emphasized that such meetings require proper preparation. The Kremlin insists that any dialogue must yield tangible, positive results.
Ushakov reiterated Putin’s longstanding position that Zelensky is welcome to visit Moscow for talks if he is genuinely prepared for negotiations. The Russian government has also assured Zelensky’s security should he choose to travel to Russia.
