 "<div>Putin told Trump sure, Ill meet with Zelenskyy: Rubio confirms Russia-Ukraine direct talks</div>")
Vladimir Putin told US President Donald Trump that he was ready to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, according to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that Vladimir Putin told President Donald Trump that he was willing to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Rubio said that while he did not expect a peace deal to be signed in the first Putin-Zelenskyy meeting, but the fact that the two leaders are going to sit for talks would be a big deal in itself.
“But just the fact that Putin is saying, sure, I’ll meet with Zelenskyy – that’s a big deal. I mean, I’m not saying they’re going to leave that room best friends. I’m not saying they’re going to leave that room with a peace deal. But I think the fact that people are now talking to each other, this wasn’t happening for three and a half years. This was a stalemated war of death and destruction,” said Rubio.
This is a developing story. It will be updated as details emerge.
