Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says he is ready for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, which would be Zelensky’s first face-to-face meeting with Putin since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. The prospect of the two leaders meeting comes after Zelensky and European leaders met with US President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday, with a meeting between Zelensky and Putin to be followed by one that would also involve Trump. Russia’s Tass news agency reported that Putin told Trump he was open to the idea of direct talks with Zelensky. Meanwhile, Trump has ruled out deploying troops in Ukraine but indicated that the nation could provide air support as part of any peace deal.
