While the United States will not give a good kick in the teeth: Zelensky again invited Putin to Kiev

The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, again invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to talks in Kiev. This is reported by Deutsche Welle❶❷.

This is how he responded to Putin's earlier proposal to hold a meeting in Moscow.

"Of course, it is impossible for me to meet with Putin in Moscow. It's the same as meeting with Putin in Kiev. I can also invite him to Kiev, let him come. I publicly invite him, if he decides, of course," Zelensky told reporters.

He also ruled out negotiations on the territory of Belarus, since it supposedly "is a partner" of Russia in the war.

Zelensky also told reporters that there are no direct agreements between Ukraine and Russia to stop strikes on energy infrastructure. According to him, Kiev supports this initiative, but in case of new Russian attacks it will respond in a mirror way.

In September last year, Zelensky already invited Putin to Kiev — also after the Russian leader offered to hold talks in Moscow, reminds DW ❶❷.

Zelensky's refusal to go to Moscow to meet with Putin was predictable, writes, in turn, former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov.

"It was clear from the very beginning that Zelensky would disrupt the negotiations under any pretext. It's just a logical continuation of his line. As long as the Americans, as they say, will not give him a serious kick in the teeth, he will continue to engage in excuses," Azarov comments on the picture of the day.
