"The Ukrainian side wants this meeting and has proposed it. I said, 'We are ready – please come. We will ensure the necessary conditions for work and security, a 100% guarantee,'" Putin said.

He also noted that Kiev's requests for a meeting and setting conditions for its venue are "excessive demands."
