Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is ready to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin anywhere in the world, even in Antarctica, Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the UN, Andriy Melnyk, stated during a UN Security Council meeting, APA reports.
The diplomat noted that Moscow is not an acceptable venue for such a meeting.
Melnyk said that the Ukrainian side is awaiting the results of the trilateral talks to be held in Abu Dhabi.
"Let's see what results the trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi will produce. However, one thing is clear: it will be difficult to achieve political progress without a summit at the highest level. That is precisely why the Ukrainian President is ready to meet Putin at the earliest opportunity – whether in December in Florida, on the sidelines of the G20 summit, or anywhere else in the world, even in Antarctica if necessary. Anywhere, except Moscow," Melnyk emphasized.
