Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said President Vladimir Putin remains
willing to meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky provided Zelensky travels
to Moscow. Lavrov reiterated that Russia’s position on the Ukraine conflict has
not changed. He said continued Ukrainian strikes inside Russia are complicating
preparations for planned Russia-Ukraine-US trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi; the
meeting date will be announced once finalized. Lavrov added that recent actions
by European countries show they cannot be regarded as reliable guarantees for
any future agreement.
