"A typical Putin trick - in order to avoid doing something realistic that depends on him, such as stopping the massacres - he suggests something unrealistic, such as coming to see him in Moscow," said an advisor to the head of state.

As D. Lytvyn emphasized, now V. Putin is"simply delaying the war and proving once again that pressure is needed to force him to engage in real diplomacy and peace."

V. Zelensky's advisor noted that at least 7 countries are now ready to provide a platform for the leaders' meeting.

"The only problem is that Putin himself doesn't want it. For now," D. Lytvyn emphasized.

V. Putin's statement about his readiness to meet with V. Zelensky in Moscow was commented on by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha on the"X" network, writes"RBC-Ukraine".

He confirmed that at least seven countries are now ready to provide a platform for a meeting between Zelensky and Putin to end the war. These are Austria, the Vatican, Switzerland, Turkey and three Gulf states.

"These are serious proposals, and President Zelensky is ready for such a meeting at any time. However, Putin continues to deceive everyone by making deliberately unacceptable proposals," Sybiha stressed.

The Foreign Minister is convinced that ultimately only increased pressure can force Russia to take the peace process seriously.

As UNIAN previously reported, today, September 3, during a visit to China, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin stated that a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could take place if the Ukrainian leader came to him in Moscow.
