In an exclusive interview with DW, Zelenskyy says he would be open to meeting with Putin at the G20 summit in Miami
In an interview with DW, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine was in a strong position to negotiate and offered to meet Vladimir Putin in Miami.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed openness to meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Group of 20 summit in Miami, according to an exclusive interview with DW. The Ukrainian leader emphasized that the primary goal of the meeting would be to discuss results, rather than merely exchanging words. Zelenskyy and Putin have not met in person since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and the Kremlin has not confirmed Putin's attendance at the G20 summit.
The Ukrainian president's comments come as Ukraine prepares for the winter months and faces challenges in countering Russian drone attacks. Zelenskyy also highlighted the need for more Patriot missiles to defend against these attacks, while calling on European allies to provide greater support to Ukraine.
