Zelensky says solution for territorial issue requires meeting with Putin

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky affirmed that the territorial issue, central to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, can only be resolved in meetings between heads of state. Zelensky made this declaration when speaking about the impossibility of resolving territorial disputes without direct negotiation between the two countries at the highest level of leadership. The territorial issue is one of the most sensitive points of the conflict, which has lasted for years and involves annexations and disputes over regions such as Crimea and parts of the Donbas. Zelensky's position reinforces the need for direct dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin for any significant progress in peace negotiations.
