FWD from Zelenskiy / Official: We are not inviting Putin to Kyiv. They came to us in 2022 without an invitation. But there is no point in inviting Putin to Kyiv not because of that, but because he will not come. Just like inviting me to Moscow. What Russia is doing is destructive. It is simply spitting in the face of the whole world, which wants the war to end. Therefore, no one will support trips to Moscow. Talking on the phone - Russia will use this as an opportunity not to meet again. And we understand this game, it is hopeless. It will be a very official, dry conversation on the phone, where I will listen to another historical lecture from the leader of the Russian Federation, and not real steps on how to really end the war. If we want to end the war, we must meet and take the first step - a ceasefire. From answers to questions from journalists in Berlin.
