Putin says talks with Ukraine possible, but not with Zelenskyy

The Hindu  

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that his country could hold peace talks with Ukraine, but ruled out speaking directly with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whom he called "illegitimate". The Ukrainian leader responded by saying that Mr. Putin was "afraid" of negotiations and was using "cynical tricks" to prolong the nearly three-year conflict. "If wants to participate in the negotiations, I will allocate people to take part," Mr. Putin said, calling the Ukrainian leader "illegitimate" because his Presidential term expired during martial law. "Today, Putin once again confirmed that he is afraid of negotiations, afraid of strong leaders, and does everything possible to prolong the war," Mr. Zelenskyy wrote on X. Kyiv has warned against it being excluded from any peace talks between Russia and the US, accusing Putin of wanting to "manipulate" Trump.
