Putin Opens Door to Negotiations with Zelenskyy to Sign Final Agreement

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his readiness to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a third country to sign a final long-term agreement on the ongoing dispute between them.

According to Turkey's official news agency, Putin clarified that any meeting with Zelenskyy would not be merely for negotiations, but to sign a final agreement document between the two sides.

These statements come in the context of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine that has lasted more than a year, resulting in thousands of deaths and mass displacement of civilians. Moscow has not yet set a date for the proposed meeting or provided additional details about the conditions of a potential agreement.
