Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is ready to meet with Vladimir Putin anywhere except Moscow. This was stated by Ukraine's representative to the UN Andriy Melnyk on November 10, 2026.
Negotiations in Abu Dhabi
Melnyk noted that the negotiations between Ukraine, the USA, and Russia taking place in Abu Dhabi could be an important step towards achieving peace. However, to achieve a political breakthrough, a meeting of leaders at the highest level is necessary.
Kremlin's Strategy
According to Melnyk, the Kremlin is using negotiations to buy time while continuing to strike Ukrainian infrastructure and conducting information-psychological operations. This indicates that the Russian authorities have no intention of stopping aggression, even during peace talks.
Possible Locations for the Meeting
Melnyk also mentioned that the meeting could take place in Florida in December during the G20 summit or in any other country. He emphasized that President Zelensky is willing to hold talks even in Antarctica if necessary, but categorically refuses Moscow as a meeting place.
