Zelensky Rejects Phone Calls and Visit to Moscow Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has stated that he will not travel to Moscow or hold a phone conversation with Vladimir Putin, demanding a personal meeting to ensure a ceasefire. He argued that inviting Putin to Kiev was pointless because Russia would not participate, labeling such gestures "destructive." On the other hand, he described the Russian invitation to Moscow as a "spit in the face" of the world community. Zelensky claimed that the telephone negotiations were useless, anticipating only a "formal and dry conversation" in which he would listen to historical lectures instead of discussing concrete steps to end the war.
