Putin Said He Was Ready To Meet With Zelensky

But he did mention one nuance.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was ready to negotiate an end to the war with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, but refused to recognize him as a legitimate head of state to sign a peace deal. "I am ready to meet with everyone, including Zelensky. Yes, that's not the question. If the Ukrainian state trusts someone to negotiate, for God's sake, let it be with Zelensky," Putin said at a meeting with heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, The Moscow Times reported.

He said a meeting with Zelensky was possible at the "final stage" of the talks, "so as not to sit there and share something endlessly, to put a point." "But the point must be [put], the signature must stand legitimate authorities. Otherwise, you know, the next <�...> will come and throw it all in the trash. But you can't do that, we are dealing with serious issues," Putin noted. He added that in "propaganda terms" one can say "anything about the legitimacy" of Zelensky, but the Russian authorities care "not about the propaganda component, but about the legal one".
