Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zlensky rejected the invitation of Russian President Vladimir Putin to note in Moscow that he was unwilling to travel to the capital of the country, which will continue to start daily missile attacks on Ukraine.
When talking to ABC News, Zelena further suggested that if Putin really wants a dialogue, he should come to Kiev instead.
“It may come to Kiev. If one does not want to meet during the war, of course, it can propose something that is acceptable to me or the second. It is understandable; I cannot go to Moscow when my country is under the missiles every day.
President of Ukraine accused Putin of using an invitation as a political maneuver to delay dialogue and said he “plays games” with the US.
“And he understands … He does it to postpone the meeting. He plays games and plays games with the United States,” he added.
Sharp remarks come days after the Russian President expressed his openness to Meeting with Zelena, suggesting that such a meeting could take place in Moscow if it is well prepared and aimed at creating a constructive outcome.
Putin invites green to Moscow
After his four -day visit to China, Putin said he was an open dialogue on the conflict of Ukraine, but only in the constitutional framework of Ukraine.
“I said I have never excluded such a meeting, but whether it can be meaningful in accordance with the Ukrainian constitution … it is possible; I never exclude it. If the meeting is well prepared and leads to a positive potential result, it is possible, and by the way, it is possible.
Putin also repeated the long -term objections of Moscow against potential membership of Ukraine and described it as a direct threat to the Russian national interests, showing less resistance to the ambitions of the European Union of Ukraine.
“We have always opposed the idea that Ukraine will become a member of the North Atlantic Alliance, but we have never doubted its right to his economic activities in any way he likes, and this includes EU membership,” he said.
After Putin’s remark, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andria Sybiha, he killed the Russian president and accused him of not accepting the proposals that “at least seven countries” organize, and at the same time described his proposal as “consciously unacceptable”.
