No breakthrough yet, too early to talk about Putin-Zelenskyy meet, says Russia
India Today
Russia has said it was too early to discuss a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy amid the war between the two countries.
Saying that there has been no breakthrough yet in peace talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was too early to talk about a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy amid the raging war between the two countries.
This comes after Zelenskyy said that Ukraine was ready to discuss a deal with Russia to not seek Nato membership in exchange for troops withdrawal and ceasefire.
“It's a compromise for everyone: for the West, which doesn't know what to do with us with regard to Nato, for Ukraine, which wants security guarantees, and for Russia, which doesn't want further Nato expansion,” Zelenskyy said late Monday in an interview with Ukrainian television channels.

He also repeated his call for direct talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Unless he meets with Putin, it is impossible to understand whether Russia even wants to stop the war, Zelenskyy said.
Zelenskyy said that Kyiv will be ready to discuss the status of Crimea and the eastern Donbas region held by Russian-backed separatists after a cease-fire and steps toward providing security guarantees.
