Putin calls 'excessive' requests for meeting with Zelensky at venues proposed by Kiev
Earlier, at a press conference following his visit to China, the Russian president invited Vladimir Zelensky to come to Moscow if the latter was ready for such a meeting
VLADIVOSTOK, September 5. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has called excessive the calls for arranging a meeting with Vladimir Zelensky at venues proposed by Kiev.
"If they tell us: 'We want to meet with you, but you should go to some place for such a meeting,' it seems to me that these are simply excessive requests," Putin said at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum, answering a question about a possible meeting with Zelensky.
Earlier, at a press conference following his visit to China, Putin invited Zelensky to come to Moscow if the latter was ready for such a meeting. Zelensky declined the offer, specifying that "American partners" informed him of the "invitation."
The 10th Eastern Economic Forum is taking place in Vladivostok from September 3 to 6 under the theme "The Far East: Cooperation for Peace and Prosperity." The Roscongress Foundation is the organizer of the EEF, with TASS as its general information partner.
