President Volodymyr Zelensky has responded to the Kremlin's persistent invitations to visit Moscow for talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Axar.az informs, citing Ukrainian media, "It is absolutely impossible for me to meet with Putin in Moscow. That would be the same as meeting with Putin in Kyiv. I can just as well invite him to Kyiv – let him come. I am publicly inviting him, if he dares, of course," Zelensky said during a conversation with journalists.

He also said that the date or location of the next round of US-mediated talks between Ukraine and Russia on how to end the war could change.

“But the date or the location may change – because, in our view, something is happening in the situation between the United States and Iran. And those developments could likely affect the timing,” Zelensky noted.
