“Of course he’ll answer.” Russian presidential aide says Putin will speak with Zelensky if he calls him
Vesti correspondent Pavel Zarubin asked Vladimir Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov whether the Russian president would answer if Zelensky called him.
“I think he would answer, of course. Putin has never refused to talk,” Ushakov said.
Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly proposed a meeting between himself and Putin, with Donald Trump taking part, at any neutral location. The Kremlin has repeatedly responded that Zelensky can always come to Moscow for an in-person meeting, where his safety would be guaranteed.
In late September, Bloomberg sources said Trump had urged Zelensky to travel to Moscow to meet Putin, but the Ukrainian president’s office denies this. Around the same time, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, Zelensky himself was asked by a VGTRK correspondent when he would visit Moscow. “On a missile,” he replied.

The Kremlin Offers a Call Instead
Putin’s aide says he would answer Zelensky’s call; the Kremlin proposes a meeting in Moscow.
The meeting has conditions. The call has a phone.
