Zelenskyy made the statement amid renewed international calls for diplomatic solutions to the conflict and ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions along the border regions.
While Zelenskyy did not specify any particular setting or timing for such a meeting, his remarks suggest a readiness to explore diplomatic avenues to address the issues at hand. Russia has not publicly confirmed any plans to engage in talks with Ukraine of late, and the situation on the ground remains tense, with sporadic clashes reported in some areas.
The proposal for direct talks comes as both sides face international pressure to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Analysts note that any potential meeting would face significant diplomatic and security considerations, given the complex and sensitive nature of the situation.
