Yes, of course. We have to come. We have to meet, talk and make a decision
According to him, the main thing during a potential meeting should not be words, but concrete results.
It is not about words. What I will tell him or what he wants to tell me – it does not matter. Results matter
Zelenskyy and putin have not met in person since the beginning of russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. The kremlin has not yet announced whether putin plans to travel to the G20 summit in Miami.
Ukraine considers its negotiating position strong
Zelenskyy also said that Ukraine is currently in a better position for possible negotiations than it was a year ago. According to him, russia loses more than 30,000 military personnel every month and pays a high price for minor advances on the front.
The president said that he discussed with U.S. special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner a possible ceasefire in the energy sector and regarding the transportation of grain through the Black Sea.
Energy and grain. This is step number one. What we can achieve
He separately stated that Ukraine needs approximately 100–120 Patriot missiles per month during the cold period, since russia, according to him, produces about 140 ballistic missiles every month.
