Zelensky rejects Putin’s Moscow invitation: ‘If you want no meeting, invite me there’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected an invitation from Vladimir Putin to meet in Moscow, calling the location choice a sign that Russia doesn’t actually want negotiations to happen. Speaking at a press conference in Paris after a summit of Europe’s “coalition of the willing,” Zelensky said U.S. partners had conveyed Putin’s Moscow invitation, but he added: “As I see it, if your aim is to prevent a meeting, then inviting me to Moscow is the way to go.”
