Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is open to direct negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss territorial issues and end the war. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that Ukraine coordinated a phone discussion involving Putin, the Finnish President, and the Norwegian Prime Minister, emphasizing the need for a ceasefire and a meeting between Zelensky and Putin. Sybiha believes such a meeting could bring new momentum to negotiations, addressing sensitive topics like territorial disputes. He noted that the location of the meeting is flexible, as long as it is not in Moscow or Belarus. The recent discussions with Nordic leaders are seen as a positive step towards peace efforts, although there are doubts about Russia's genuine intentions to end the conflict diplomatically. The trilateral negotiations involving Ukraine, the US, and Russia are set to continue in Abu Dhabi in November.
