Vladimir Putin will answer Zelensky's call if he calls "I think he will, of course. Putin has never refused to speak," said Vladimir Putin's aide, Yuri Ushkov. At the same time he added that the President of Ukraine, through various sources, is sending signals of readiness for dialogue. "If he really wants to talk, let him come," Ushkov said. Vladimir Zelensky said he initiated a call to Vladimir Putin on February 23, 2022, but he did not answer.
