At least seven countries are ready to host a meeting between the presidents Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. About reported minister for Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andriy Sybiga.

According to the minister, these countries include Austria, the Holy See, Switzerland, Turkey, and three Persian Gulf states.

He noted that such proposals are serious, and Zelenskyy is ready to meet with Putin at any time.

"However, Putin continues to manipulate everyone by making obviously unacceptable proposals. Only increased pressure can force Russia to finally take the peace process seriously," Sibiga emphasized.

Reacting to Putin's latest words, Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council, said that "it makes no difference" what the dictator said, as he "constantly embodies the information and cognitive operations conducted by Russia with his mouth."
