Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is welcome to visit Moscow for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a senior Kremlin aide said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The idea of a Putin-Zelensky summit has been discussed by Moscow on multiple occasions, including during phone calls with US President Donald Trump, Yury Ushakov said, noting that the Russian side has never rejected the idea.<\/p>\n

“Our president has also said several times to journalists that if Zelensky is truly ready for a meeting, then we would be happy to invite him to Moscow. And we will guarantee his safety and the necessary working conditions,”<\/em> Ushakov told Russia 1.<\/p>\n

He stressed, however, that it would require careful preliminary work, stating that “the main thing is that these contacts are well prepared. And secondly, that they are oriented towards achieving specific results.”<\/em><\/p>\n

His comments follow the first trilateral talks between Russian, US, and Ukrainian delegations in Abu Dhabi last week, which US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff called “very constructive.”<\/em> An unnamed US official told Axios that the parties are “very close to a meeting between Putin and Zelensky,”<\/em> suggesting that more three-way negotiations are needed first, potentially paving the way for a meeting in Moscow or Kiev.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Wednesday that the next trilateral meeting will likely take place on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Russian officials, however, have pointed to a decree Zelensky signed in 2022 banning negotiations with Putin following accession referendums in four former Ukrainian regions, noting that Kiev has not repealed it. <\/p>\n

Moscow has also questioned Zelensky’s legitimacy to sign binding agreements after the expiration of his presidential term in May 2024. Zelensky has refused to hold a new election, citing martial law, which he has repeatedly extended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
