Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected Vladimir Putin's invitation to travel to Moscow for talks, instead suggesting that the Russian leader come to Kyiv.

Quote: "He can come to Kyiv… I can't go to Moscow when my country's under missiles, under attack, each day. I can't go to the capital of this terrorist. And he [Putin] understands this."

Details: Zelenskyy noted that Putin's proposal looks like a way of postponing a real meeting.

"You know, if a person doesn't want to meet during the war, of course, he can propose something which can't be acceptable by me or by others," he remarked.
