Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed openness to meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin at the upcoming G20 summit in Miami for discussions on ending the war, according to a recent media interview. Zelensky stated that meeting with Putin is necessary for "results," regardless of the words exchanged. However, the Kremlin has not yet confirmed whether Putin will attend the event in December, and they have reiterated their demand for Zelensky to visit Russia for talks.
The United States is attempting to restart the stalled negotiations and has recently dispatched negotiators to both Moscow and Kyiv. Both leaders have also engaged in phone conversations regarding the conflict. Zelensky acknowledged that Ukraine's military position has significantly improved since the beginning of the war and believes there is a good opportunity for negotiations.
Nevertheless, the Kremlin remains skeptical and insists that it is premature to discuss the venue or dates of the potential talks. Recent strikes by Russia have resulted in civilian casualties in Ukraine, prompting Zelensky to urge his allies for additional missile support and calling for greater assistance from European partners.
