The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, believes that his country's territorial issue can only be resolved after a direct meeting with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. This position arises in a context where Zelensky has been insistently defending the need for direct negotiations with Russia to end the conflict.
Zelensky has been making recurring calls for a meeting with Putin, considering it essential to address the territorial question. However, the Kremlin has consistently refused any type of meeting with the Ukrainian leader, maintaining its position of not yielding to these diplomatic demands.
The Kremlin's refusal to accept a meeting with Zelensky represents a significant obstacle to any attempt at peaceful resolution of the territorial conflict between the two countries. This situation keeps relations between Ukraine and Russia in a diplomatic impasse that seems far from an immediate resolution.
