Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is willing to meet with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, but only under a specific condition, states Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak.
"Today, the president made it clear that he would be ready to meet with Putin when the time comes for Ukraine to be prepared for such negotiations," said Andriy Yermak.
He clarified that this readiness refers to a strong position and security guarantees. However, that moment has not yet arrived.
"Readiness is absolutely clear when Ukraine has a strong position coordinated with the US and Europe, and when we understand what security guarantees we will have. That moment has not yet come," the head of the President’s Office added.
In the same interview, Yermak addressed whether US representatives brought President Donald Trump's peace plan to Munich.
According to him, the Ukrainian side did not hear a specific plan, explaining that no document could exist without Ukraine’s approval. However, Yermak believes that daily efforts will now begin to develop such a plan.
"This was not the first phone call between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy. We are already working with Mike Waltz, General Kellogg is coming. I believe we will now work daily to ensure such a plan materializes," he informed.
